So I got board the other day and took a spare Dell 1500 WIFI card and some 2.4/5.8ghz a/b/g/n antennas and put it into the FCM port under the keyboard to see what would happen. Well I expected it to not see it at all but it did and it installed the drivers and its running correctly. The only problem i'm running into is that it cant see any wireless connections. Now its my understanding that the FCM was a USB based PCI-E instruction set and that's why I was thinking it would not work but the fact that it installed and is properly running minus the fact that it cant find any networks tells me that it is in fact a True PCI-E slot. Now I come to my question I know your not supposed to use WIFI cards in FCM ports but why would it read and install the card properly and not be able to find the network ? Also I have a Intel 6300 in the real WLAN slot and it has no issues finding WIFI so its not my laptops configurations. I have tested the card with the antennas in my M6300's WLAN slot to check if it was functioning properly and it is. Also does anyone know if I can use a WWAN card in my M6300's FCM Slot? That's Going to be my next project. Any info the you guys can give would be a god send because this little board moment just got crazy because its so close to working just one random problem I have never had. Thanks in advance
