mPCI - WLAN


Hello Guys,

This is my first post on the boards so i'd just like to start by saying 'thanks for having me'.

I've just migrated my hardware over to a nano-itx board which as you may know; takes mini-PCI cards.

I'm looking for a good quality WLAN card that is compatible with linux, the card must also have the facility for me to attach pigtail Antenna.

I've seen the GN-WI01GS from Gigbyte which looks like just the sort of thing i would be after, unfortuntly thier tech support wont provide me with Drivers or support for Linux.

I'm sure you guys will have plenty of suggestions and i look forward to reading them.

Thanks,

Rob

WOW! ... I had no idea that MadWiFi existed, after looking on the site there is an enormous amount of support for different cards.

Thanks again,

Rob
