Hello, I'm planning to install a USB wireless N adapter and directional antenna to my Acer netbook to increase my range in certain situations. My question is, If I disable the internal wireless, is that enough? Do I have to uninstall the the drivers or anything else? Thanks
 
You shouldn't have to disable the internal wireless adapter; two wireless cards should work together without problems.
