    More information would be good ... what brand/ model wireless card are you looking at?

    As far as Atheros cards are concerned, how about eBay?

    That would explain why most sites google came out with listed prices in euro!

    And what about Atheros based Wifi?

    You can probably still receive them because what if you travel with you laptop? You just can't broadcast them
