Initially, Intel permitted only the 855GM chipset, which did not support external graphics. At the same time, they permitted the new Dothan Pentium M to substitute for the Banias Pentium M. In early 2004, after the finalization of the 802.11g standard, Intel permitted an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG to substitute for the 2100.

Intel responded that the IEEE had not finalized the 802.11g standard at the time of Carmel's announcement. Industry-watchers initially criticized the Carmel platform for its lack of support for IEEE 802.11g, because many independent Wi-Fi chip-makers like Broadcom and Atheros had already started shipping 802.11g products.
