Intel Centrino 6300 on DQ67 EP Motherboard

[idata]

Hello eveybody .

I've just bought some Intel DQ67EP to make a Windows 2008 server at home with Hyper-V support.

Because there's only one ethernet port ont the board, I would like to use the mini pci-e connector to install a wifi card.

Is the 6300 mini pci-e card fully compatible with motherboard business features (V-Pro, AMT...)? I've only found answers for 6200 one.

What external antenna fully compatible with the 6300 card (3 wired mimo 450Mb) should I bought?

I've only found internal antennas for laptops or external for Desktop without good connectors.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your post.

Our wireless adapters are designed to be installed only by the computer manufacturer. This is why there are no compatibility lists or any integration documents and even no warranty support through Intel directly.

The reason for this is because the system were these wireless adapter are installed, must comply and stay compliant with all FCC and IEEE regulations, this is why we are not entitled to recommend, encourage nor support the installation/or upgrade of wireless adapters performed by anyone but the laptop manufacturer. See Intel's position in regards to this at the links below:

One other issue you would run into with this installation, is that there are no server Operating System drivers for these wireless network cards, only Windows* XP, Windows* vista and Windows* 7.

Well, that's not a good news for me...

I will look for another solution.

Thanks.
