    I would say maybe or no it won't work. First off check with Dell your "Service Tag" and check their upgrade or driver software update and in there there should identify what Wifi they can upgrade to. Just getting a card online is no gurantee it will work. You need to check with Dell using your Service Tag number to make sure.

    It is a dell, stick whatever in there and it will work. If you don't want to brother with adapter, scotch tape it down.

    Just avoid Hp/lenovo card if you getting a 6xxx series.
