Title says it, would it be possible to swap out the WWAN card for this? http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Broadcom-Crystal ... 0557116194

If so, that would mean: Steam IHS, FullHD movies without lag 'n stuff!

Probably not..

In a Toughbook, the WWAN mini pcie slot is usb only....It does not have a true pci connection..They work for communication devices only..

But wait, that gives me a idea: USB wifi and swap out the WIFI card for that one?
