Found a post on Mint forum about same Intel Nic. Looks like if you install a newer kernel the problem will be solved. Look for Jerry's post about new kernels and how to install one and try that before buying a new card.
Here's the Mint post for reference:[size=1em] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.ph...0&t=212165[/size]
P.s. If you've got a usb wifi stick you can connect that way and do the kernel upgrade. Otherwise you'll need to download needed packages to a usb stick and install that way. No time to explain how to do that now, but will try revisiting this later today to give better instructions if noone else jumps in to explain.
