found Intel Wireless card on SXPS 13..

i dont know if we are allowed to paste links..
but here goes
Ebay-SXPS13

if you look closely enough it has a Centrino 2 sticker on it and in the info it says Intel Next Gen wireless..

i thought Intell wireless cards(hope this one has 5100 or 5300) wernt compatible with the SXPS13....

 

Impossible to be Centrino 2...
And yes, the Intel wireless cards aren't compatible with it

 

Yes, it is compatible, and you can order the 5100 with the SXPS13 if you call. The 5300 will work also.

 

The sticker says intel core 2 duo..

 

Did you tried it in xps 13? I did and it freezes the PC. If you know a way to make it work..please share it

 

please do, this is the only thing that is stopping me from buying a SXPS 13, everyone who has any kind of experience with installing intel WIFI cards in their SXPS 13 then please share....i just assumed that after reading a couple comments that its not compatible..hopefully its just a 1 out of a 1000 person problem instead of a COMMON prob with everyone...poison7FL you just opened up new doorways for me

 

The pinkish red sticker shown on the laptop is a Centrino Sticker.... a Core 2 Duo sticker is Blue...

 

And the sticker shown in the first picture there has the blue core 2 duo sticker.. look carefully.

 

Sorry, even at 800x it is still red.

Here is the Dell website showing it available with the Intel 5300.....

Just not available on the US website, you have to call and order....

 

impossible to configure it witht he intel card on that site

 

As I said previously, Call Dell and order it.

 

I already have the laptop and tried the 5300 in it, but no luck with drivers....freezing OS every time

 

I have the same result with kirkus. Can someone try the intel wifi 5100? I think 5100 and 5300 will have the same problem since they use the same driver. However i don't want this dell 1515. Some other recommendations for other type of nice wifi cards that does not have the compatibility issues?

 

Hamming, is your 5300 a genuine one? First that i've tried was something like ES. I have another one (genuine) but I don't know if I should bother installing it.

 

Well if you have it why not just try your not going to know otherwise are you.

 

I think so. I bought the half heigt mini one and the regular one. Both are 5300 and both have the same issue.

 

Tried the other one...same result

 

Would love to see someone get a 5300 in here. I felt like an idiot yesterday at Starbucks when my buddy's macbook had a solid wifi connection and I was dropping the signal every 30 seconds.

 

The laptop uses an nVidia chipset, it therefore cannot be called a "Centrino 2" platform and therefore would not have a Centrino 2 sticker. I assure you the sticker is a Core 2 Duo one.

 

okay i understand that the people that are having problems shows that there are incompatibility issues with the card,....poison7fl...have you had any issues as of yet? can u please tell us what OS you have installed and if its x86 or x64? thanks!

 

I fon't think he has that card installed. Abd for sure it's a driver issue ... Anyway, i really want to use a 3x3 card in my laptop...
