Thanks! I'm probably wrong on #1300 as the model number since I was looking for a mini-PCI also as an upgrade for my laptop and I didn't check my notes before posting away.. sorry for the confusion. My questions are aimed at the Dell 11b/g PCMCIA card, but I checked and it appears to carry the 1300 series number also. Should I worry about compatibility if I upgrade my HP's internal card? Mine has a LED indicator connector on the upper left (seen with connector down) that probably won't exist on a 11g upgrade, and two tiny coax connectors in the upper right. Can't easily see whether the coax connectors are marked. Some of the mini-PCI on ebay seem to have identical coax locations so there would be no cable relocation at all in the laptop. The internal antenna is feeble enough as is.. I wouldn't want to break its well-hiddeen leads. Comments?
