The market for miniPCIe wifi cards is surely much *much* larger than for full-sized PCIe ones. |

Every new laptop needs a wifi card, and that'll be miniPCIe. If someone is adding wifi to their desktop, then they'll probably use a USB NIC. |

When the manufacturer is already making lots of miniPCIe cards, what's the point of making full-sized PCIe cards, which will hardly sell? Especially when they're the same bus with a different form-factor, and a "convertor card" like you've bought can be bought or manufactured cheaply. |
