I have bought from netgate before and had no problems. They sell nice
high power prism
2.5 minipci wireless cards such as the 2511 MP PLUS. In fact I think
the cards are made by EnGenius/Senao.

Zcomax also sells minipci prism 2.5 cards.

Good Luck changing the card in your laptop I tried that with an IBM
thinkpad t30 and my bios refused to boot with an "unauthorized minipci
card error" hopefully your laptop bios is less evil. If you have a
recent ibm laptop I suggest spending some time on the phone with ibm
to get them to reveal their list of cards their bios allows you to
use, and hope one of those is prism 2.5 or atheros!
