      The WLAN PCI card is based on the Atheros AR2414 chipset. From what I can gather this chipset is supposed to be supported by the ath(4) driver in 7.2, but the manpage makes no mention of the chipset being supported. As for the picoPSU, I would use the 90W version or lower as it would be more than enough and probably more energy efficient at lower loads (say ~45 watts total).

            I wanted to update this for future members that need help choosing hardware. I have everything but the wireless card running on 1.2.3 and its running flawlessly.
            Thanks again for all your help.
