    To save money, I was thinking about picking up a refurbished D420 from the Dell Outlet. The thing is, none of them seem to come with a Built-In Mobile Broadband card.

    I have Cingular, so I figured I'd buy a Dell W5500 internal card on eBay... BUT, I have no idea how to install this card, and the ones sold on eBay don't come with instructions (I checked). I looked on Dell's site for instructions, but no luck.

    Anyone know how to install one of these 5500 internal cards?

    Thanks...
