    My Studio XPS 16 has an Intel WiFi Link 5300- I want one of the models with WiMAX such as 5150 half card. Problem is this part isn't being sold anywhere that I can tell, so is it possible to order it as a replacement from Dell somehow?

    If you know what you're looking for, it's definitely possible to buy the part from Dell. They might charge you an arm and a leg for it, but there's no reason they shouldn't sell it to you.
