    Hey all,

    I've hit a bit of a stumbling block and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a Gateway MT3423 with a mini-PCI Realtek wifi chipset--a chipset I've discovered creates a ton of headaches when trying to use wireless in some linux distros. I'd like to swap it out for an Atheros based mini-PCI wireless card but I'm having a hard time finding any retailer selling them. Does anyone know of a retailer selling such cards?

    Thanks in advance!
