    Anyone have one of these adapters and get them to work with an Inspiron E1705? I replaced my 3945ABG with a brand new minicard 5350 from eBay, and only the WiFi works. The WiMAX connection utility only says "WiMAX is not ready" - and the drivers don't seem to install correctly. Someone say the WiMAX functionality on the card uses USB (trhough the same minicard/express slot) and WiFi uses PCI Express.


    Any tips / advice , thanks.

    I live in Portland BTW, and subscribe to Clear WiMAX service.
