    You should have a look at the system service parts for your R400 to determine which wireless will work.

    Intel 5100 AGN = FRU 43Y6493
    Intel 5300 AGN = FRU 43Y6495
    Intel 5350 AGN = FRU 42T0965

    Click on the link above and go down to these parts. It will inform you whether it's compatible with your R400 via the model number..
