I hope someone here can help me with this.  I have a Sony VAIO notebook with a Intel PRO/100 network adapter that is failing. This to my understanding is a obsolete unit. Can someone tell me if there is a newer unit that will plug into the same mini pci slot and work for my notebook.

Thanks you in advance.

Found a few on ebay as well. I just make sure what I get is shipped from within the US and has a return policy.

Could I possibly upgrade to a wireless N adapter like this one?

It appears to be the same interface.

possibly you'll probably need a driver for it unless you run windows 7 and even then you may, or it may just not be compatibile at all. its a 50-50 deal lol
also the disable wireless switch on your laptop probably won't work if you do

Well, after all is said and done decided to go with external usb network adapter.
