Ive used dishwashing liquid as flux before (dawn seems to work best). A nice rosin based flux would be best, but I can make due (cleanup is kind of messy though...)
I can use the ones on the existing (working) wifi card, but I dont want to bust it, incase I have troubles getting the new card to work. : : I've been thinking about building one of these Altoids tin MP3 players : that we have all seen online. It might be kind of fun if a few of us : all built them. We could buy components in a batch and assemble them at : a meeting. That would also mean we could get real circuit boards spun : for us rather than using bread boards.
