    I recently purchased a Mk 2 digitizer CF-18 and have found a few Mini pci draft N wifi cards on Ebay but thought I would ask this esteemed body their thoughts on the matter before proceeding.

    Get one that uses 3 antennas and find a place to use a flag antenna on the 3rd connector.

    I have the flag antenna, should I go Intel based or athros based?

    If you are going standard power, I'm not sure it matters. Intel has better and constantly updated drivers.

    I believe there was no MiniPCI N card from Intel when I searched for it.
    And Atheros is more stable and fast too. I always loved Intel Wi-Fi cards, but some time ago I've bought Intel 6250... and it was last time for me and Intel together :))
