Card Specific

Please take a moment and add your card to the wiki if there isn't a page on that device yet. Its very simple, follow format of template but don't put too much worry here in following a guideline. It will be cleaned up if needed. It's more important to document your experience for others. To create a page, simply enter the model # and version in the box ex.. dwl-g650vB5 and then click on the Create Device Page button. If there is a page on your device already, open up and add your comments/experience to the existing page.
