    Has anyone installed an Intel 6250 Wifi/Wimax card into their M17X-R2? If so are both the wifi and the wimax working or just the wifi? Also, I've only got two PCIe slots on the motherboard; one full size for the bluetooth and one half card that has an Intel 6300 on it. Does the slot the Intel 6300 is installed in double as the WWAN too? Thx, Radji

    Ok Update: I got the Intel 6250 card and installed it. Both the Wifi card and WiMax adapter show up in the device manager, but only installs the driver for the Wifi, not the Wimax. I've tried downloading and installing the drivers straight from Intel, but to no avail. I've included a couple screen shots to show exactly how my device manager is looking. Any advice would help. Thx, Radji
