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. http://www.netgate.com/index.php?cPath=26_34 Zcomax also sells minipci prism 2.5 cards. http://www.zcomax.com/ 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! -Hudson Lee
