they are the same as the other cards, they just happen to be built on to the motherboard.

Based on a few old experiences, I always disable a built-in network connection and put in a PCI card. I've found the onboards to be problematic.

It's a notebook, why disable the onboard and use pcmcia? They are no more problematic than aftermarket. Yes you will have to configure it in the wireless lan connection.
