Hi,

I know I don't post here much, but figured someone may be looking for this. Purchased this a month ago for use in my Asus T101MT. I've sold off my T101MT and completely forgot that I purchased the Broadcom card. It's been sitting in my desk drawer since mid June. It's model BCM70012. Installed it on my friends N450/ GMA3150 and it worked perfectly.

Price is $60 shipped in the US. Paypal ONLY. Willing to do a partial trade for a Runcore 32GB or 64GB PCI SSD.

Please email me at silverg112@gmail.com or PM me here.

I honestly have no idea. I know it for sure works on all N450+3150 setups, utilizing a PCI-e slot. Can any experts chime in?

I believe the Broadcom accelerator card should work in a true Mini PCIe slot. Not a Mini PCIe SSD slot, and not a WWAN/cellular slot (frequently WWAN slots are USB only). WiFi slots tend to be true Mini PCIe.

Also, mini PCIe slots come in full and half height. Newer laptops/netbooks (like the 1012) tend to use half height WiFi cards. Older ones (like the Mini 9) use full height. The Broadcom accel. card is available in both sizes.

A half height card will "work" in a full-height slot, you'll just have to be creative to secure it. A full-height card will be a difficult fit in a half-height slot.

I hope this info helps someone.

As one final caveat, some laptop manufacturers cripple their WiFi slots, to force you to buy upgraded WiFi cards from the manufacturer, instead of eBay/newegg/etc. I expect the Broadcom card won't work in those laptops. I don't think Dell does this.

You are correct about the PCI. It needs to be a real PCI and not a PCI-e. I just spoke to my friend and the netbook that I tested it out on was a Lenovo S10-3T, with a hacked bios which allowed full function of the Broadcom Crystal card in the PCI-e slot.
