I am not really up to date on these WiFi chips, but in this case I am wondering if you mean "latest" in relative terms. Were they the latest chips when the T520 was current or are they the latest chips now? In the latter case, the T520 won't have them, so this is not an issue. :-) Best, Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iL4EAREKAGYFAldZd+1fFIAAAAAALgAoaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDgzRDQzNjY2NUYzMDVBMTYxMDY0ODYwNzMy MDIxMzQyODdFMUJGQjIACgkQMgITQofhv7Ij3wEAi8QBdVSBSrjT3yBKQc3Ry/gD kTcGESZMicP0Oi3aLIMA/2gZrmxkqItc9XLGxtSCD9VftpcwdeOaKqnNxpIjMObL =JS8F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
