Intel WiFi/Wimax 5350 mini-PCI card 802.11a/b/g/n & 802.16 Nov 29, 2009
By Freaksh0w I bought this product in early 2009 when it was still in "Engineering" test mode from an overseas seller for my Dell Latitude. It replaced the standard Intel mini-PCI card. I have loved the card ever since I got it. Dell even had a 3rd antenna connector inside my Latitude for the card even though my laptop is from mid 2006 (they must have been anticipating something like this).
While it has taken some time for Intel's drivers to come-out (that are stable) and improve them, it will pickup 802.11n signals from far away with the laptops built in antenna's. The speed is incredibly fast.
I have not been able to get the WiMax capability of the card working yet, as I understand that it only works in the 2.5GHz range, but it would be nice to see it when it is finally working or I can scan the freq range for signals. I don't know if there will be special setting needed for each WiMax installation or not. TDS does have an Alvarion 2.5-2.6GHz WiMax 802.16e network running around my area in Madison, WI currently, but I never pickup anything. After speaking with TDS, they told me that they did not support the "mobile" capabilities in the city yet. As I believe that encryption they are using is restricting the card any ability to recognize their network anywhere in the city.
Overall, I would recommend the card. I did not pay the ~$75 that is being asked for here, as I found it for around $35. Mine came with 3 extra antenna's for the laptop, in case it didn't have them already installed. But it will most likely become a standard card on new laptops in 2010.
