decent pci express/ pci express mini wireless card

[Tyler Aviss]

Mini as in mini-PCI for a laptop? You may want to make sure that your
laptop actually supports alternate cards. My last HP had a BIOS
setting which locked it to crappy realtek cards. An unauthorized card
(in my case an decent Intel one) brought up an error on the BIOS
screen and wouldn't allow the machine to boot.
