What mini-PCI card form does the Latitude D630 use?
I need to replace the default wireless card with an Atheros card and I cannot tell what form factor of mini-PCI card the D630 uses; the mini-PCI full size or the Mini-PCI-E.
Here is the Dell D630 picture:

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Thanks for the links- most helpful and you are right- it is the PCI-Express form factor. I found the AR5005 superG chipset in the mPCI-E at OxfordTec in the UK and ordered two since I got my wife and daughter D630s and use the DLink DI-624 wireless router.
I use the older mPCI for my old Inspirion 4000 and 4150 and they work like champs- even have any Ubuntu Linux OS working on one.
Thanks again.
Best
