    Hello everyone,
    I have a Clevo M570A (Sager 5720) and I configured it with the Intel PRO Wireless 2915 a/b/g
    I have been very disappointed with the power of the card itself and how lame the Intel PRO Wireless connection software is

    Now I am thinking of getting an Atheros Wireless now and have a PCMIA slot but I would like to see if I can remove my 2915 and use that slot for Wireless instead...

    The M570A has the Intel 915PM Motherboard and I think the wireless maybe be built-in but I am not sure and I am hesitant to take it apart due to it still being under warranty and I would prefer not to void the warranty

    If you have any info. on this please reply!
    Thanks In Advance,
    -TBird

    MiniPCI WiFi cards are easy to pull out. Slide wires off (pop up w/ small screwdriver). Spread holders each side, card should pop up @ slight angle. Pull out straight line.
