      Hey all, I am running the 2.1 beta on a Jetway NG9HQL-525, booting off a CF card. I'd like to bring the wireless portion of my network onboard this device, so I am looking for recommendations for a good wireless card to use. I would like a mini PCIE model (it is in a low profile case, so I can't easily use a normal PCI express) that can do  B/G/N and A, preferably a dual band model.

      This motherboard is a little cramped (http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/NF9H.html), so I am not sure that some of the larger mini PCIE wireless cards would fit. Has anyone got one that they have tried with this motherboard?

        I suspect that replying to my own question is a sign of questionable sanity, but after more research, I think I am going to use a separate wireless access point running DD-WRT. It seems easier, as the support for things like 802.11n and simultaneous dual band isn't strong in PFSense.

          You might want to get this card that in used for the alix kits if it works with your board.
