the wireless belkin only supports 11mbps wirelessly (10/100 wired), thats the fastest transfer speed you will attain with it thus negating the gigabit onboard LAN. If you want to utilize gigabit networking, all of your components have to be gigabit, so you would have to get a gigabit switch and a gigabit card for the laptop, and right now a gigabit switch is extremly expensive and I have never seen a gigabit PCMCIA card and prob never will as the PC Card bandwidth wouldn't support the speed.
