I have at least one Atheros-based miniPCI card from some broken Thinkpad laptops (bad mainboards). Ping me off-list if you're interested.

Re: [Soekris] Needing some MiniPCI Wireless Advices
I simply bought an Atheros one that was supported by the ath0 driver in OpenBSD from eBay - which meant I got it very cheap it does a/b/g and im quite happy with it :-p I would suggest checking the supported wireless chipsets list for the OS you want to use and then getting onto eBay.

Re: [Soekris] Needing some MiniPCI Wireless Advices
I know that Atheros-based card works well under linux, and I think it's the same under BSD. Now, just have to find one... I know that gigabyte make some, but I don't know if you can get one in brazil.

[Soekris] Needing some MiniPCI Wireless Advices
Hello everyone, I am building my own AccessPoint based based on soekris boards and Linux, I was thinking about buying one of the MiniPCI cards offered at this site. (Look, I don't wanna make advertising or anything). http://metrix.net/nl2511mp-200mw-minipci-p-8.html However I could not get in touch with the people at this store. I am from Brazil and here it is really difficult to find good stores that sell products which are not only for Windows. So I was hoping that my importer which stays in USA could get in touch with Metrix guys. This was not possible, I don't know why they haven't responded our mails. Alright, this was just an introduction to my problem. What I really want to know is if you guys could give some advices on MiniPCI Wireless Cards that: 1) Has supoort under Linux and OpenBSD (I know some like Orinoco, but they are rare) and b/g or a/b/g protocols. 2) Works fine indoor behind walls, etc. 3) Has a reseller which I could contact (even if it is outside my country). Url's to websites would be welcome! I was wondering if this could be the place to ask such questions, please just ignore my mail if you find that I am being rude, spammer, or just if I am asking the wrong question in the wrong place. It is not my point to offend or to disrespect the mail list rules. I know "where/what to buy" questions sometimes is a pain in the ass. I just don't know where else to ask and google hasn't come with good alternatives to me. So thank you very much for your time.
