    I use 2 wireless cards in my m6600 for connecting to 2 different networks at once(java viewer and internet)

    My 'main' wireless card is an intel 6300.

    My laptop has a wifi(6300), m-sata slot, a WWAN full card slot, and a DMC slot open.


    I can run the 6300 and the 4965 in the WWAN slot without issues. Works great, etc.

    When I try to use one of my intel 6200 cards in the WWAN slot with an adaptor, or in the DMC slot, the system freaks out.

    Windows fails to instal drivers, but the 6200 and 6300 show in device manager(no issues). It shows in the task bar with networks available but never connects.

    The 6200 card gets HOT in the WWAN slot, but the 6300 card will get hot if the 6200 is in the DMC slot...

    When I reboot the system, I get a bios message saying the system overheated(it doesn't).


    It does this with both of the 6200 cards I have. All 3 of my 4965 cards work fine in the WWAN slot.


    Any ideas? :confused:

    Are those 6200s Lenovo cards by any chance?
