    I am trying to upgrade the wifi card on my XPS16 to the Intel 5300 but am unsure which wire I should be using for the third connector. In the picture I found here it seems like the third wire actually comes in from another cable from the other direction. The card itself has the three spots labeled white, black and gray. The third wire that runs with the white and black is gray and black but doesn't reach this spot. Can anyone confirm what wire is the right one?
