      REceived this from PCEngines:

      PC Engines ECN #027 2/17/08
      Board: ALIX.2C, ALIX.3C (all models)
      Intention: Improve headroom for 3.3V power supply
      Effective: running change, phase in ASAP
      File: none
      Issue: Problems when running high power cards such as Senao NMP8602+ or
      Ubiquiti.
      Action: Change the following component values:
      ALIX.2C-> R83 = 2.2K ohm (was 1.0K / marking 01B)
      C98 = 4.7 nF (was no stuff)
      ALIX.3C -> R73 = 2.2K ohm (was 1.0K / marking 01B)
      C93 = 4.7 nF (was no stuff)
      2.2K ohm resistors are marked 222 (5%) or 34B. Parts can be supplied
      to customers on request.

      Package type is 0603

        Thanks for posting this. There was a similiar hardwarehack neccessary for the wraps when using high power wlan nics iirc. You also should get a decent psu when using such a card.
