    Hi
    Can somebody help me ...
    Does Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network support 10/100 Ethernet, or can I get connected both ways wireless and with ethernet cable?
    Thanks
    Daniela

    You sound a bit confused. You are, I assume, speaking of a laptop with a 3945ABG internal wireless NIC. Your machine also should have a wired (RJ45 jack) ethernet port. If both are enabled and the wired port is connected to a router, one will likely be selected as a default over the other, and all network traffic routed through it. The wired port will operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps; the wireless at the speed the wireless access point it is communicating with is capable of, or thereabouts, depending on signal strength conditions. (Up to 11 or 54Mbps.)

    Thanks for your post. Yes I’m talking about Laptop ( HP Pavilion dv6000t). I’m planning to buy it and I’m looking on its features. I can’t see Ethernet port listed on Included Features, so I’m confused if the network card have one or not…
