    I run it just fine on my CF-28. 29's should work just as well. (I should upgrade my sig too, I'm running BT3 now)

    Did you have to do anything "special" to get everything working?
    Does the WiFi card that come with the panasonics do packet injection or do I have to rely on my USB ALFA for that>

    I'm using an Atheros card, so no idea about the stock Panasonic card.

    I didn't have to do anything strange with it at all to get it working though. Everything was dandy right from the install.

    What kind of slots does the CF-29 have? I have a few mini-pci GIGABYTE cards I used in other machines I would like to use.
