as I use mostly linux, I'm trying to customise my netbook and my wlan is my only rock in the path of a fully open source supported netbook ... Plug and play in linux
Here's what I need to swap/switch : Toshiba Satellite A300 Wlan (Intel) <---> Emachines eM350 Wlan (broadcom-wl)

It's a miniPCI card under the keyboard. Just unplug the antenna, remove the old card, and put the new one in.
Here's an image of what a miniPCI card looks like:

Do I can have an issue at reboot without reinstalling linux ?
Does photos or videos that show how to do it exist ? – zillion – 2011-03-15T18:08:26.447
You won't need to reinstall Linux. My apologies on the location, though. In the A300/A305, it's under the keyboard. take a look at page 2 of: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A305/laptop-disassembly-process-1.htm

Do you want to physically swap the hardware or spoof drivers or what? Please be more specific. – Shinrai – 2011-03-15T17:36:07.250
