Intel 5100AGN vs 5300AGN

[alewis]

Any particular advantage of one card over the other, in regards to using in a T60?

AIUI, the 5100 uses two antenna, the 5300 three. The T60 only as two antenna. Is there a means of fitting a third, or is it unnecessary/impossible, and one may as well buy a 5100?

Many thanks

Anyone? Any clues?

All you can do is just buy the 3rd antenna and then put it underneath the keyboard but you wont get much benefit of it either.

Okey dokey. £12 for a 5100, so one can't go wrong.

Shame I only have one PCI-e mini slot Will have to use a USB stick for WWAN

Picked up a fully working T60 MB (ATi X1400 GPU), which has the WWAN PCIe connector for £45 inc P&P for a client from eBay - But had to keep checking for approx 3-months though.

I have also installed an Intel 5100 on a colleagues T60 and can confirm all is well - hooks up ok to their BT Home Hub N-Router (Broadcom chipset) - Note that the BIOS mod was required as this Intel card is not on the T60's BIOS whitelist.
