Thanks - Looking at the link below, all AR5416 based cards seem to be PCI cards. The PCI Express version looks like they are based on the AR5418 http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/D-Link Is that correct, or are there some PCI Express cards based on the AR5416? If not, do you think a card based on the AR5418 will be OK? Kind regards, Geoff
