Any specific PCMCIA or mini-PCI (not mini-PCIe) cards you all would recommend |
| 15 |
then - either Atheros (preferred) or Intel? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I have only been able to find a couple - namely a few by HQRP, Everex, and |
| 18 |
TP-Link. |
| 19 |
I haven't been able to find much info on HQRP, and their cards seem to be 2.4GHz |
| 20 |
only - without proper 802.11n support. |
| 21 |
Same for Everex and most others random ones. |
| 22 |
TP-Link seems to support everything, but not sure about - Amazon reviews seem |
| 23 |
good (for the most part), but I have had trouble getting to their website for |
| 24 |
whatever reason - perhaps the Great Firewall of China is at play. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
At least the Intel ones I come across on Amazon seem not support Wireless-N or |
| 27 |
be mini-PCIe. |
