AR9285 didn't come in a PCI flavour. The AR9227 is a PCI version of the AR9287, but it's 2GHz only. You can find PCI D-Link adaptors that have either AR9220 or AR5416 NICs in them. Be sure it's "dual band". Otherwise you could hunt down a PCI->MiniPCI cradle and use that. There are a lot more mini-PCI NICs out thre.
