    Hi,

    Could someone please tell me if it's possible to change the 2200bg card against an intel wifi link 5300 or 5100?

    In general.. I don't know if it's a good idea to place a wireless N card inside a notebook with only 2 antennas.. would you say that it will work in N Mode (with less performance though)?

    Thank you very much!!

    I can't think why it shouldn't work although, as you note, the lack of the third antenna may degrade performance.
