    I bought a CF-29 MK 5 on ebay, I was wondering if the wifi adapter in the title would be a good fit? The one I got is a CF29N3B26BM.
    Thanks

    Yes the EMP-8602+S is a great wifi card for a CF-29, gives it lots of range. Also being an Atheros chipset it works for wardriving e.g. NetStumbler.

    It's a great card... I used to use them in all my CF-28 & 29 builds... It almost doubled the range!
