    I think so, but i have never actually tried so i can't confirm for sure. I don't see why not though, i also don't have access to an AMD notebook which is a shame because i could test it if i had access to one.

    Note that some manufacturers implement a bios whitelist for wireless adapters which might prevent the upgrade. Which notebook are we talking about?

    Yeah, I am 99% sure that Intel WiFi cards are compatible with AMD notebooks.

    Then again, it is Intel....... =/

    well
    K53ta : cannot do a clean restart( windows is down), shut down/boot normally though , no further tested
    dv6z : random BSOD due to wifi driver, I try to trace the source but never able to find it, tweak all the option such as wake, power saving etc.

    But they do go online and have good signal.
