Yes the 

 

Dell     DW1397          Half Mini PCIe 

 

If only it would work, I thought it was in the list of supported cards. 

You still didn't say what the issue is. Is it not detecting your card, device not showing in network preference or just not able to connect to a wireless network?

It's not seeing the device in the network preferences 

are you seeing the adapter under wireless in system profiler?

if so, in Network preference, click the + sign to add new network and in the interface, click wifi

It does show up but there is no WiFi when trying to add. I wonder if it's that fix that didn't end up taking that 3rd command

Tried that and when going to diagnostics and then WiFi is grayed out. 

 

I also have in there a Huawei EM700U card and back when I had it in a Dell D620 with I believe 10.5 or 10.6 that actually worked with a SIM card. 

 

I may just have to buy a DW1510 if that will work OOB.
