Hi,
This question has been bugging me for a while and I thought maybe Tim or someone else here can share an insight.
As it happens every second desktop I see goes wireless. This is usually done by USB adapters but when I need to buy I get a PCI card because I find these cards more reliable. Still, both types give me more trouble than they should.
I thought it would be best if I could use an adapter with an Intel chip inside it but can't find any. Today I saw this item on eBay: a mini pci-e to pci-e adapter for desktops which includes antenna attachments.

I was wondering if I could pair it up with a cheap and decent module like the Intel WiFi Link 5100 card for some DIY fun and a reliable solution in the end. I could also replace the short antennas with this for better reception. Has anyone tried doing that?
