Dell 5100 Wireless

One of my business partners has a new Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop. He broke
the wireless cardbus card because he is too lazy to pull the card out before
putting the thing in its case. Will the Dell 1300 WLAN mini PCI card fit in
his computer? I have asked Dell tech support via e-mail but the only answer
I get is that they cannot recommend accessories (right!!!). I have the 1300
in my Dell 8600 and find it quite nice.

Yes, the Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN mini PCI card will fit in the Inspiron 5100.
I am writing this message to you from a Dell 5100 with a 1300 card and Linksys
WRT54G router combination. I purchased my Dell only a few months ago with the
1300 factory installed.
