Hi Community!

I have a Sony Vaio FW51ZF/H.

1. Does anyone know if the installed WIFI Adapter (Intel 5100 AGN) is mini PCI-E or half mini PCI-E??

2. Did anyone try an Broadcom WIFI Adapter in his FW5xxxxx series???

thx in Advance!!

I think you will have to look inside to be absolutely sure but  the second hand FW-Series card being offered on eBay here: -

looks like a Half-Mini size.
