    I own Alienware M15x without upgrading it to Intel WiFi Link 5300
    I guess that's a big mistake

    Set up a add hoc wifi network. I have used one on my laptop with win 7.
    I have the standard dell wifi card, its a 1397. For some reason it seems to die after ~60MB has been moved but that could be my other laptops wifi?
