Intel 633AN.HMWWB versus 633AN.HMWG (resolved)

One of these is the card used in the thorough testing on this site, but I am trying to differentiate the differences between both of these devices that appear when using "Intel Ultimate-N 6300" as the query on Froogle. Is there a significant difference? I'm considering grabbing one with the HMWWB extension from SuperBiiz in use my laptop (to replace the dinky Realtek PCI-E NIC there now): https://www.superbiiz.com/desc.php?name=INT-633AN

EDIT: Well, I Googled, only to find the differences are academic. It's the same product.

Yep. The only thing I found is that the WWB version is "vPro enabled". So it might have some power management modes that vPro systems can access.

Well, that's trivial enuff, thanks. I grabbed it with a $5 off coupon for $29 (including shipping), and now it's OOS. I guess the AC product will be due any day now.

So I installed this guy, but I noticed that since my laptop was only equipped to handle the standard 2.4GHz radio, I have a shortage of one antenna connection for the configuration on the Intel 6300. For now, I simply connected the leads to 1 and 3 and left the middle socket disconnected. Adding a third antenna would probably require more work than I am willing to engage (getting all the way down to the motherboard's laptop). I suppose I'll just see less throughput than is theoretically possible. I don't notice any connection difficulties yet.
