The LED-screen version of the Dell XPS M1330 in the top picture actually shipped with only two antennas available for the installed three-connecter 4965 card.Д«luetooth/WiMax support: Some newer cards also come with Bluetooth and/or WiMax support. Ideally, youвЂ™ll probably want to get a WiFi card with three connectors if you have three antennas, but if you are missing either a connector on the card, or a 3rd antenna wire on the laptop, you can still connect up what you have and it will work. Similarly, some wireless cards will have two antenna connectors, and some have three. Number of antenna connections:В Most laptops will have at least two wireless connectors to improve the signal by using spatial separation of the antennas inside the laptop. Amazon have some nifty bracket adaptersВ that easily solve this problem.ДЄn Intel 4965AGN (background) and Intel 6200 with full-size brackets attached (foreground) Fortunately, the newer cards will still work, itвЂ™s just that they might sit loose if you canвЂ™t screw them in properly.

If you are planning on using your new card with Windows Vista or XP, double check the вЂњSupported operating systemвЂќ specs on the manufacturerвЂ™s site.ДЄlso, if for some reason you want to use an older card like the Intel 5100 or 5300 as a replacement, and upgrade Windows at the same time, take note that these older cards are not supported in Windows 8. The newest Intel 7xxx series for example, seems to require a minimum of Windows 7. If youвЂ™re determined to use a non-whitelisted card, and feeling (a lot!) more adventurous, there are some possible workarounds.Дriver support for your OS: Many of the newest wireless cards available have dropped support for older operating systems such as Windows Vista. You can check compatibility on their websites. Hardware Whitelist: If you have a laptop made by HP or Lenovo, they will only allow certain cards to be recognised by the laptopвЂ™s BIOS. HereвЂ™s what youвЂ™ll need to check (youвЂ™ll need to open the WiFi card compartment on your laptop): In theory, you should be able to use any appropriate-fitting wireless card, but in practice, there are some caveats.

How to choose a replacement cardД¬hoosing which card to replace your 4965AGN with will depend on your hardware, and also whether drivers are available for your version of Windows etc. The Intel WiFi Link 5 era cards that are now two-generations behind, so worth considering replacement too. If you own a computer with this card and youвЂ™re having connection problems with your WiFi, upgrading to a newer model is probably worthwhile.ДЄdditionally, if your laptop is running too hot, replacing this card could help lower the temperature a bit (try to find where the card is located and see if it gets very warm during file downloads, streaming video from YouTube etc.) If you have this notebook, did you get audio working? i think there is a alc889a in there but i'm not so sure and neither hdapatcher nor anything else worked so far.Apart from a tendency to get quite hot when in use, this card is now a number of generations behind, so wonвЂ™t be as efficient as newer products. You will get this error when installing certain software down the line. Many thanks goes out to iDeneb people, aqua-mac for the 9000 series package, NVDarwin pepole, and those of you who posted the steps above. I wasted 2 days trying to do this originally using my old 10.5.1 to 10.5.5 upgrade and doing MBP kext tranfer, the ist modifying using gfxutil & osx86 tools, etc.
