40MHz intolerance: An N setting, it affects how it deals with overlapping G networks. This kind of thing may come into play in crowded airspaces, as it may annoy your neighbors.

Afterburner: A proprietary Broadcom feature that adds speed to G networks ( )

After much hunting about I was able to locate a Dell document that describes a lot of that screen-cap:

In short, can someone point me to a source explaining all those properties? Maybe even a list of recommendations for the best values to gain the best wireless performance?

Should the card be "40Mhz intolerant"? What is "Afterburner" and why is it disabled? Which setting should I change to enable the Broadcom to see my 5.2Mhz network, which the Intel works well with? Etc. etc.

I have often wondered about all the properties in the drivers' "Advanced" tab (see image) but could not google a satisfying documentation source.

I have 2 laptops, one with a Broadcom 802.11n wireless card, the other with an Intel 5300 802.11n.
