    Hi!

    I have installed an intel 5350 card into WLAN slot of my M1730. Works fine for the wifi, but proset tell me "WIMAX Is not ready!." so I can't use the card with wimax functions.

    So I tried to install the card into WWAN slot: WIMAX hardware was installed into Vista and fully working!!!

    My doubt is: I can't attach the wlan antenna cables into wwan slot (they are too shorts!!!). I have 3 other cables near WWAN slot but with differents colors, they are the same antennas? I can connect these cables without risks or they are something else?

    Thanks!
    Marco
