Wanted:T420s intel 6300 Wi if card "found one"

#1 Post by SaberX » Wed May 30, 2012 6:35 pm

Looking for a wi if card for the T 420s.
The Intel 6300 card seems to be the best fit.
Befor I get one from eBay I like to check here first.

Note that I have tryed the intel 6200 card from my T410 and it won't work.needs to be newer....

The 6300 and 6200 cards have the same hardware, while the 6300 supports an extra antenna (three in total). I see no reason why the 6200 card shouldn't have worked.
T43p - M 770(2.13GHz), 2GB RAM, 60GB HDD, 15in 1600x1200 LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL V3200, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner, Intel 802.11abg wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM)

The 6200 card from t410 gave the bios error in the t420s.
I thought it would have worked also but I'm guessing the t420s needs a card from same year.

The T420s wants a 6205 instead of the 6200 to avoid the boot error.

I'd go with the 6300 - it's the best wireless card I've owned to date.

Finally got one ordered from eBay. 30.00 free shipping is not bad.
