GIGABYTE WI01GT fit in mini 9 / vostro A90?? -
04-22-2009, 09:22 PM
Apparently this card works with every OS including mac and it injects natively in backtrack 3. Will this fit in the mini 9?
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=2215 It looks like it would, but idk.... Thanks. |

The link says it's a 'Mini PCI Express' drive, which are 70mm, while the stock SSD in the Mini 9 is a 'Half-Mini PCI Express', and is 50mm. So, straight out of the box, it won't fit.
However, jkkmobile has modified a Mini 9 to accept 70mm drives. The thread detailing that can be found here: dell-mini-9-modded-for-128gb-ssd-t6331.html EDIT: Just noticed that the specs further down the page say that it is 50mm. If that's true, it should fit without the need for any modification. |

Uh, that's a wireless card. Why are you putting it in the SSD slot?

I'm not sure of the size of the slot for the WLAN card. Search around the forums, people have replaced their WLAN cards before. If the size/specs of this one match the others, you're golden. Sorry I can't help more.

I've been looking for a backtrack-compatible card for my mini since the day I ordered it, so I really hope you've found it. However, have you seen any really good reports about this card under OS X 10.5.6? I googled around a bit and found some reports of it working with some luck, or not at all, but none of it seemed very clear cut.
Otherwise, the specs seem right; I'm tempted to order one. Get 250MB bonus space by signing up with this link! |

Well, I'm looking as well and am only theorizing that this card works from a forum I visited. I will try to find the link. He and others in the forum, which happened to be a msi wind forum, were talking about how it worked with everything included Backtrack 3 out of the box. Mac included which is huge for me considering my vostro will be a mac.
I will continue to research, let's find us a card  *Website I mentioned* http://forums.msiwind.net/hacks-and-...all-t2550.html Claims it just works with everything including injection... Fingers crossed. Anyone else confirm this? |
