Thanks for this- definitely a help. I've setup an alert.
So I can also buy cards titled:
Dell DW1560
Lenovo 2020048
?
I'm fine for whitelisting- as another user here with my laptop is using it with success. They did mention they had to 'cut the notch'. So I would presume that they bought an E key, and I should get an A+E to avoid having to cut the notch?
The Dell DW1560 is a A+E Key card (2 notches). This will work in an E key slot because one of the slots will line up perfectly. An E Key card such as the Lenovo 20-20048 (1 notch) will not work in an A key slot because it is missing one of the open notches (of course, you can Dremel it...someone in this forum had done it). If you laptop has an A slot, your best bet would be the Dell Dw1560. This way, you would avoid having to mod it and possibly destroy it. That said, I have both these cards and my Dell DW1560 has 2 notches and the Lenovo has only 1 notch, so I can't say with absolute authority that there aren't any other variations of say, the DW1560. But I highly doubt it. Why would Dell produce 2 different cards? I would say you can't go wrong with the DW1560 since it will work in both A and E slots.
