Subject: Looking for a 802.11n card

Hi,

I'm looking for a dualband (2,4 Ghz and 5 Ghz) 802.11n card for my desktop,
but was unable to find one. Can you suggest a good card for testing 802.11n
with Linux ?

Also,

First some alphabet soup for you (this is on the wiki now):

HB: PCIe Half MiniCard
XB: PCIe Full MiniCard
MB: Mini PCI card
CB: PCI Cardbus card
SB: Single band, 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 configuration
DB: Dual band, 2x2 configuration

We do have DB HB, HB92/AR9280. HP, Toshiba, Dell, FJ ships with it, and
product name is under ath9K site as mentioned above. Also,
XB72 (Owl/Fowl, AR5218+AR5133) is dual band XB (see the site).

According to google the WL300NC by NEC is a PCMCIA card too...

I'm thinking about buying a mini-pci adapter card for my desktop and put this
one inside:

Hm and our Owl stuff also supports 3x3 IIRC so we will update that..
just not sure exactly which ones have it yet. I'll ask.

Hennig is looking for a card usable in a desktop (not a laptop). These
are all laptop cards.

This seems to work then:

NEC
<AR5416+AR5133/CB72, 2x3 DB>

* WL300NC=20

But its not AR9xx, but should do.
