Plugging a mini pci e half height card into a mini pci slot

#1 Post by kasperlindvig » Sun May 23, 2010 4:51 pm

I just bought a 6300N 450Mbit wireless mini pci e half height card and attempted to have it replace my 2100 3B Mini PCI card. Unfortunately it is the wrong size, so I am looking for an adapter to make it fit. Can anybody in here recommend any adapters for that purpose?
Thanks.

It's not going to work. The two buses are electrically incompatible.

You can buy MiniPCI 802.11N cards on eBay, such as http://cgi.ebay.com/TP-Link-wireless-N- ... 0469234973
