    Can I use this in the wwan sled?
    I took it from my Sony Vaio FZ series (stupid power plug on board BROKE AGAIN)laptop, I am not going to bother fixing... 3Rd time breaking.

    Will this work, and where can I get the drivers lastly the pull out antenna fine for draft N?

    Try it in your sled and see. Dipswitch settings will be trial and error.
    Drivers are at Intel.com
    Pull out antenna is wrong frequency.

    I swapped the interal one for the AGN. According to Windows there is a cable unplugged. Do the wires still go to 1 & 3 do I need a third wire for #2?... When I removed from my Sony Vaio it had only two plugged in even tho there is 3 antenna ports.

    Na windows did not like the card. That's OK, I'll just stick with 2.7ghz

    In my limited experience WWAN cards (Like Gobi) may work on the sled. WLAN cards like your 4965 install elsewhere...in place of your WLAN for instance.
    Shawn is correct on frequency.
    The windows error refers to not recognizing the card and little/nothing to do with the third antenna.

    Yeah I figured that out, The next step/mod is the sled and changing out the WWAN pull out antenna with a sma terminal so I can use the right antenna.

    if memory serves correctly , there is a *network* (L-C) that is used in conjunction with the antenna ...
    i can't remember where it is located .
