Are there 802.11n cards for an Inspiron 5150?
Answers:
I wouldn't. 802.11n isn't what they promised. But if you have MONEY burning a hole in your pocket, get this

Let's talk this through.
Your high speed modem is connected at 10/100 Mbps.
Your existing router is 802.11g and it is connected to your high speed modem at 10/100 Mbps.
Then, consider your high speed internet service. Do you have Cable? It might be connected at 4 Mbps.. maybe 15.
Or, let's say that you rented a T3 line. That would be a connection at only 45 Mbps.
So, let's go over it slowly, so I can understand. 802.11g provides you with 54 Mbps and it is not fast enough for you; and you think that 300 Mbps will make a difference, since everything else is SLOWER than your 802.11g.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
any card will work in your type 2 card slot
If you have an internal modem in your Inspiron, then you would merely get a PCMCIA modem with 802.11n and install it. Disable the older internal modem. You can disable the internal modem by going to the network are in control panel and right clicking the internal modem, then click disable. The PCMCIA card will then kick in and take over.
That said, I would personally recomend holding off on 802.11n since it is still in draft state and will most likely change. Rarely is 11n a better performer for through put since the limits are DSL and Cable modem through put. If your Internet is reaching your house at 1.5-8mb per second, having an 11g or 11n is barely noticable. The only benefit to draft 11n (2.0) is that the range is very good compared to 11g.
Good luck
