    My XPS m1210 runs linux full time. Because of this I'd like to get a wireless card that supports more features under linux (e.g. Master mode, packet injection) to replace my ipw3945. I'd like to find a AR5006EX, assuming it is the current modle. I'd also be fine with pretty much any other atheros chipset wireless card that can be installed internally in this computer.


    Thanks,
    Band-aid
    EDIT: It may be a miniPCI-E slot? I don't know, google is failing me.

    Look at the EEEpc internal wifi card, its an atheros and is one of the best cards I ever saw in my long time being a wifi auditor ;).
