    I can confirm that the Intel WiFi Link 5300 works perfectly with my Studio 1535, which uses the same chipset as the M1530 (PM965, Santa Rosa platform).

    I originally had the Dell 1397 wireless half-size mini card, which used two antennae (black and white). I did have the third (grey) antenna, though nothing was plugged into it.

    I recieved my 5300 half-height mini card last week, and it uses all three antennae. I installed the Vista 64-bit driver for it from Dell's download page, and it's been working perfectly ever since. I don't have a Wireless-N router to test the dual-band capability, but on my current G router, it's been performing very well.
