    As long as it's not the whitelisted version (have FRU and SPS printed on labels) it'll work on your Dell.

    After reading some reviews from the buyers I don't see no reason why it shouldn't work, given Dell laptops don't impose whitelist on WLAN and WWAN cards. Hell I even dropped one on my friend's good old Stylistic ST5112 (with an extension plate) and it connects to wireless networks just fine, though Bluetooth doesn't work.
