    Ignore - posted in wrong forum!

    Hi

    My Dell XT is arriving tomorrow. Does not come with a WWAN card, which I would like to install.

    Questions are:

    1 - which card is better 5520 or 5530 - 5530 is cheaper in the UK on Ebay
    2 - can I just install the card/drivers and away I go, will there a built in antenna connection available already?

    Thanks!

    If your rig supports WWAN then yes the 5530 supports speeds 7.2Mbp where as the 5520 supports speeds 3.2Mbp. Also check to see if you need a half mini WWAN card or full mini card.
