    Those of you who have an Intel 5100 Wireless card and the M4400, could someone tell me if you have 3 antenna connectors, even though the 5100 has just 1 antenna?

    I'm thinking about getting an Intel 5350 (Wimax) aftermaket (which isn't available when configuring the notebook). So I'd have to know if there are 3 connectors and antennas in the M4400 even though you configured it with the Intel 5100 (which has just 1 antenna).

    The black and white one are connected to the card and the grey one isn't.

    "The black and white one are connected to the card and the grey one isn't."

    Yep. In my M4400 it's the same. All the cables are there but if you have the 5100 one cable is just not connected. I'm interested in the Intel 5350 card as well. Do you know how could I remove the Intel 5100 card that comes by default? It seems difficult to extract from the laptp.
