    Has anyone ever run across instructions on getting to the wireless card in current VAIO models, more specifically the Y series? I assume it's under the keyboard somewhere but I'm hesitant to just start disassembling a perfectly good (and new) VAIO without someone else having blazed the trail before me. I inquired in the "Y" owners lounge but apparently no one has done this so I thought I'd ask in the general forum.

    I want to swap in an Intel 5300 (which I already own) since it is actually a 5 ghz N card, as opposed to the rather sucky 2.4 ghz Atheros card in the VAIO.
