Vostro 3400 Wireless Card Question
I will like to upgrade the wireless card in my vostro. Right now it has the default dell wireless card and i will like to replace it with Intel Pro Wireless 3945 card. According to the Dell™ Vostro™ 3400 Service Manual on how to remove and replace the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Card, it seems to me that the wireless card is small whereas the Intel Pro Card that i am thinking of buying is bigger. Here is the image on the dell site: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/vos3400/en/SM/art/wlan_0.jpg and here is an image of the intel card: http://www.txcesssurplus.com/catalog/6013%20Front%20A.jpg
Will this card fit and work on the vostro? If not, anyone have any suggestions for an intel card that will fit the vostro 3400?

Looks like the system needs a half-card - the fullsize card may fit but if you look at the antenna wires, those may be trouble.
This card should work:

thanks. I noticed the intel Advanced-N 6200 has 2 connections for the antenna wires while the Ultimate-N 6300 has 3 and the vostro only has 2 wires so i need to be careful i buy the right product which seems the be the 6200 in half mini pcie form
thanks for the help
