Now I'm using very good MiniPCI (not express!) card from Microtic. It works well. But my old router (Sokeris net5501) doesn't work well by itself: it is very CPU-limited, and looks like overheated easily. So, I'm thinking about upgrade. But all modern small MoBos (MiniITX ones, like Zotac's or new Sokeris net6501) doesn't have MiniPCI, only MiniPCIe. So, I will need new WiFi card too (Zotac has configurations with WiFi, but it seems, that it is RaLink based, and two-channel cards are supplied only with "top" MoBos for "true" LGA1155 CPUs, which I don't want, because they needs active cooling). Different "ISP-oriented" Internet shops sells MiniPCI cards, but MiniPCIe is not common (yet?). Could you name MiniPCIe _card_ (not _chipset_) which is Atheros based, supports 2.4/5Ghz, has 2 channels and MMCX connectors? Internet shops, china markets and e-bay is Ok :) -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov
