hello
I live in Slovakia and it is really hard to find resellers with good
WLAN offer.

I would like to have 802.11 a/b/g card so I would only have to change
antenna when I would need to go from 2,4GHz to 5GHz with same wifi
card.

I have heard that Atheros AR5006X chipset has great sensitivity so I
would like to have card based on this chipset.

In Slovakia only a few cards are AR5006X based and if they are, they
are very expensive (I am a student with not much money)

To solve my problem, I thought this would be great for me:
*Mini PCI to PCI adapter

*Wistron CM10 Mini-PCI Card a/b/g, Atheros AR5006X
http://wifimarket.eu/product_info.ph...4683d9bc3fd939

I would like to use it in my desktop PC. (ASUS A8N-E, nForece 4 Ultra
chipset)
Will it work?
Has it any drawbacks compared to "normal" card (not build from separate
parts)?
Would you recommend another chipset with great sensitivity?

thanks for your replies
Greetings from Slovakia
