Hi,

I need to know the functions of pins 11-14,16 of the Intel Pro
Wireless 2200 mini-PCI card or, alternatively, of the Centrino socket.
Also, any Centrino-compatible mini-PCI card pinout will do.

Note that pins 11-14,16 are vendor-defined according to the MiniPCI specification
( http://cmclab.rice.edu/projects/giganic/datasheets/PCI/SPECS/Mpci10.pdf ).

The problem: I own a Toshiba laptop, that has a mini-PCI socket that
conforms to the Agere card pinout (
http://www.terabeam.com/downloads/oem/minipci.pdf ), but I bought the
somewhat incompatible Intel Pro Wireless card for it. I can get the
card to work by isolating pin #13, but I need to use the on-off switch
also to save battery life.

Agere cards/socket have the following functions assigned to the
vendor-defined pins:
11 - LED1_GRNP --> net activity led,
12 - LED2_YELP --> power/net connection led,
13 - LED1_GRNN --> radio on/off switch.

Regards,
Ville

Thank you for your question.  
 
However, I believe that to answer it well, your question will require
more time and effort than the average amount of time and effort
associated with this price. Here is a link to guidelines about pricing
your question, in the pricing guide:

Quote from the 'pricelist':
"Can be answered with a single link or a single piece of information."
-- that's exactly the case, there's no research involved whatsoever.
It is a concrete question that can be answered in one line by any
respectful wireless technician more or less from the top of his/her
head.

Additionally, I bought the card for ~ $30 and you can't expect me to
spend more than 10% of it for the answer. If I won't receive an
answer, I'll solve the problem by testing.

By the way, *I* would provide the answer for $2.
