Latitude E6400 Owner's Lounge, Part 2

Wireless cards can go wrong surprisingly more often than people think.

Supports up to Intel 5300N. And this is really the cheapest it gets. I would recommend it. They DO ship out 5300N, though not stated in the title.

Thanks for the info! Would you trust this seller over a Chinese seller? I want to make sure I dont get a fake, haha.

 

I bought one myself for my XFR build. Solid wireless card. Also look at how many he sold..

I personally trust domestic over foreign sellers.

 

I will agree with you there! I'll gladly pay the extra $0.75. Appreciate the link.

 

Speaking of WIFI. Does the E6400 have a whitelist wifi BIOS?

second part of the question. Has anyone tried a "combo" wifi card, like an Intel 6235 that has Bluetooth v3.0 built on to the chipset?

 

It doesn't have a whitelist, but not sure about the use of combo cards... I'm guessing the latter will work, but you won't be able to turn on/off the individual parts with BIOS, etc.

 

I just bought this card. Did i make a mistake? I couldnt find the part number that the e6400 uses. There are a couple different Dell P/Ns. But the model number is the same. I'm afraid I may have to cancel.

Thanks for any info!

 

That Intel 5300N is just what you need.

 

I might be able to get my hands from someone a Dell 5630 Broadband card. will it work in the E6400? I figure that the drivers will probably won't install if it does a laptop check, but there is always a around that. But other than that, anyone else think it might not work??
