    Hi.

    I've just replaced the built in atheros card with a intel 5100, but now my SD cards fail to show up, not in windows, not in boot menu (F12)... If i remove the intel card and/or put back the atheros card, everything works again... I've tried both bios' availible on acers homepage with no success.... This worked on my "old" D150 btw!

    Oh and i had to file down a metal peg and cut some plastic to make the intel card fit, but that shouldnt make any difference... Any advice?

    FYI, new bios (3206) didn't fix it. Anyone have positive experience with installing another .n (5ghz a must) card in the 751? Im thinking of simply buying another one.
