Any specific PCMCIA or mini-PCI (not mini-PCIe) cards you all would recommend then - either Atheros (preferred) or Intel? I have only been able to find a couple - namely a few by HQRP, Everex, and TP-Link. I haven't been able to find much info on HQRP, and their cards seem to be 2.4GHz only - without proper 802.11n support. Same for Everex and most others random ones. TP-Link seems to support everything, but not sure about - Amazon reviews seem good (for the most part), but I have had trouble getting to their website for whatever reason - perhaps the Great Firewall of China is at play. At least the Intel ones I come across on Amazon seem not support Wireless-N or be mini-PCIe. TIA, Ben
