What's the difference between the Intel 6300 Wireless card models 633AN.HMWWB vs 633AN.HMWG

I saw both the 633AN.HMWWB and 633AN.HMWG listed for the Intel 6300 Wireless card at Provantage.com. I know there's a difference in price, but what else.

Thanks.

 

Had to do a little bit of digging to find this info for you. My friend Google helped too
Both cards are Intel Wifi Link Ultimate-6300 Half Height Minicard w/ VPRO Enabled - 802.11A/B/G/N

I'm guessing all they did was "Add Pakistan regulatory markings to Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 and Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 labels." I don't know why but it's the difference between the two.

so both the cards are basically the same?

found this on intel forum
Actually there is no difference between these adapters - the WG and WWB simply refer to the packaging size. The HMWG is the Generic SKU sold in minimum qty 100 and the HMWWB is the White Box SKU sold in minimum qty 10. You should check with your OEM to ensure that the laptop will accept the adapter you are planning to install. Also, there could be regulatory requirements that you need to meet for your country.



Installation or use of Intel® wireless adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations. In certain countries, these products can only be installed in systems that have a system-level regulatory approval. This approval must be obtained by the manufacturer of the system (OEM/ODM) or the installer of this device. Before installing this device into a system, you must contact the manufacturer of the system, and determine if the product is approved for use in a specific system in a specific country. You are also required to follow the manufacturer's post-approval requirements.

If the manufacturer does not have the necessary approvals, the party installing the device is responsible for those approvals. Installing these adapters in an unauthorized system may be illegal.



The end user is not authorized to install these wireless adapters. They can only be installed by the manufacturer or its authorized representative.

so if i had an acer 3680-2682 and i had a celeron M processor 440 1.86 ghz 533 fsb 1mb L2 cache, which is a express 945 chipset by intel, if i was to replace the wifi card with; Wifi Link 6300 633AN.HMWG Half Height Minicard VPRO Enabled would it work in my laptop ?

 

To the OP, the hardware btw the two should be identical.

 

Why don't you just let me handle the moderation around here
Thank you.
