    Where are the other Wi-Fi card options?


    These are all that are available for the Inspiron 1520:

    1.) Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini-Card

    2.) Intel 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card


    I called Dell and got to speak with a very rude and arragant sales rep; no help at all! He was so sweet and nice when he thought I was ready to place an order, and then he turned into arragent ass when I asked him about the Wi-Fi card availablity! :mad:

    Perhaps that's because it's the 1520 and not the 1521.

    You could try getting the latter with the Intel chip and get all the wireless cards you wanted. I believe it's because of the AMD chipset.
