Anyone put an Intel 7260HMW 802.11ac MiniPCIe card in their Dell Latitude E6x20 or E6x30?

    I installed it in my e6230. The Bluetooth worked for a while. Then stopped. I turned off the laptop and the Bluetooth started working again. It's been working ever since. This is all with latest drivers.

    Wifi has been steady.

    Test file transfers, audio A2DP streaming and connecting things like a mouse and post results if you can.
    Do you use Win7 or 8?
    What drivers? Place a link to them in your post.

    How about A2DP? Do you have any BT headset/speaker/whatever to test audio streaming?

    This issue is identical to mine. I have verified that it is consistent with all E6530s. I have tried 2 separate cards in 2 separate E6530's and the results are consistent. Both of these computers have up to date BIOS. Does anybody have any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

    Just an update.
    7260ac works well at both: Windows 7 Pro x64 and 8.1 Pro x64 in my Dell E6230. Even if I used to hear the "device disconnected" Windows alert when I was using W7, there were no problems with connections.

    I have Dell Latitude E6530 and when I put the card in the WLAN slot where the existing WiFi card was, the notebook wouldn't boot/turn on.
    When I inserted the card in the slot next to it - the one marked 1/2 MINI, they notebook booted succesfully.
    The antenna cables were a little bit problematic, but somehow I managed to connect them both.
    The cards gets detected in Windows is working without any issues.
    I have also tried the card in the Latitude E6540 and there it works in the primary - WLAN slot.

    I've noticed that the physical wireless switch now doesn't work for enabling/disabling wireless.
    This seems logical as it is probably connected directly to the main WLAN PCIe half mini slot and now the wireless card is in the second slot.
