    You would need a half height card, and you'd need to trade it for your wireless LAN. There is only 1 mini pcie slot in the G73.

    There are intel cards that do wimax+wifi, I don't know of any that do normal GPRS/CDMA + wifi.

    Maybe you can get away with another solution...

    Nice, it has 4 antennas. :D Too bad it doesn't do 802.11n tho. There are a number of Option wireless cards on that site, good stuff.

    They've got one that does N too.

    I didn't post it, because ... well ... if the OP isn't going to search for the solution that works best for him, then I'm not sure he deserves it :)

    (They also have a CDMA one...)

    I was thinking of getting one, but it doesn't do injection ... so it doesn't suit my needs :(
