    Hello. My old Intel 5100 started to go bad so I bought an Intel 6200 to replace it. I installed it alright, installed the software and all looked fine however the wireless radio is off and I can't turn it on. The switch does nothing and the adapter refuses to turn on. Am I missing something or is this just not gonna work?

    Help! Thanks!

    It seems the wireless radio switch controls the full height mini-PCI-E slot and as the 6200 is a half height mini-PCI-E it won't fit in the correct slot properly. :( Is there any solution to this or will I have to hunt down a full height wifi card? Or can I find a full height adapter some place?
