How to remove Intel 2200BG wireless network card

How do you physically remove the internal Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless networking card from a Dell i9300?  I just got my new i9300 two days ago, and the 2200BG is awful.  I have high speed internet, and couldn't even maintain speeds that you get with dailup.  So, I have disabled the Intel card, and have installed the Linksys card I was using with my i8500.  MUCH better performance.  I still would like to remove this card from my system, but I don't know how.  I didn't get a user guide for the 9300 like I got with the other 3 Inspiron notebooks I've bought.  We also have a Dell desktop, and got a user guide with that also.  I don't know if this is something Dell has stopped doing, as I know that aren't automatically shipping Windows reinstallation CD's anymore.  I had to request those.
 
So anyway, does anyone know how I can physically remove the Intel 2200BG wireless card from my computer?  Thanks in advance.

    Is it possible to purchase a replacement internal wireless card for a Dell? I'd like to dump the 2200 from my 6000. However, I'd first want to know what I'd need to do (firmware installation, etc.). Thank you!

    See here:  It's for a 9300 but I would think its the same procedure.
