    Hello all,


    I have the Toshiba Equium 350L 10P laptop, It has the Atheros AR5006EX Wifi card.


    I wanted to upgrade to the Intel WiFi Link 5100 Wireless N PCIe Card .

    Do you guys think it will be ok? It has the 2 antenna the same as my original card.

    Im going to buy it. No one seems to be able to answer the question. I have asked on a forum I use not notebook related and the tech guys there don't seem to know.

    Im going to guess the same here?

    I will let you know once installed if it worked.

    Personally, i'd get a 6200 with a bracket (you can get one on ebay) if you need a full height card or without the bracket if you need a half-height card. If you do that, make sure your antenna wires have an extra inch to be able to plug them in the 6200.
