    I'm under the impression that the S5N (semi-older ones, not the newer ones) have the integrated Intel 2100b MiniPCI card.

    I was wondering if its at all accessible to remove it and replace it with the newer Intel 2200g MiniPCI card. Is it at all accessible, even if I have to dismantle it completely?

    Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this situation.

    From the ASUS website there is no mention of any wireless card coming with the s5n model. But there is a wireless led on the notebook. These leads me to the conclusion that it is up to the reseller as to which wireless card/if any will be sold/installed with the notebook, and thus it is just the normal mini-pci card type which should be replaceable.

    Sorry I was looking at the global ASUS website, just saw the US site and saw that it says "built in wireless", thus I'm guessing that this is not replaceable. Esp since this is such a small package of a notebook, I doubt that there is much room to move around.
