I'm wondering if anyone has yet to install a Dell 1601 Wigig card for the new wireless docking stations.

The one I'll be working on today is the D5000 dock. I'm hoping it's pretty straightforward, but just wondering if anyone's had the experience and could give me a heads up as to something that might be out of the ordinary.

I just did it this afternoon. It was pretty easy, and there's a nice video on YouTube showing the whole process (3 screws on a 6430u). The only catches were that there are now 3 antenna wires, so you may have to fish the blue wire out from under if it's hidden, and the white wi-fi wire is now quite a stretch to reach its pole. It does reach, but it's a stretch.

Good luck.

The problem I'm having now is that I can't figure out how to toggle between WiGig and WiFi....
