Re: [ath9k-devel] Wireless Card
.. if in doubt: * buy a mini-PCIe -> PCIe adaptor card off of ebay. They typically come with three antennas already. * buy one of the AR9280 (or later as Mohammed mentioned) NICs off of ebay that are dual-band. There's lots of them, many < $30.

You won't get minipci -> pcie; I meant minipcie->pcie.
