    I heard some people upgraded to 6200 with no problem. I myself upgraded to intel centrino 6300 and it works flawlessly.

    i upgraded to the 6230 since it had the combo bluetooth adapter like my stock wifi card.

    had some issues with internet dropping randomly after install. i ended up disabling 802.11n mode in driver settings and no problems since.
