    We have a 751 with a dodgy wifi and have tried all the suggested fixes with no joy. I was wondering if the Intel 5100 series half mini-pcie card will work in this model. We're running Windows 7 Pro. Thanks for any assistance.

    As long as card form factor matches slot size in your netbook it will work. Sometimes people getting confused about standard size and half size of miniPCI-e cards...

    Just an update on this. I ordered a new Intel half pci wireless card from EBay and installed it this morning. Windows 7 booted up and recognized it right away and all is well with the world. Thanks for the advice.
