Atheros Wireless N & Bluetooth Mini-PCIe

I did notice this card before the Ralinktech SparkLan,
But after emailing the company was told these are OEM based only,

The other day while searching for Some internal antennas,
i came across this website -
MitxPX
and notice the Atheros Wireless N & Bluetooth Mini-PCIe
after finding more info,
found the seller sells on ebay as well,
going by specs it seems to be similar to the Sparklan Wifi & Bluetooth Card,
As i needed one more Combo card i ordered this card today,
will put up the info and let you know how it copes compared to the Ralinktech SparkLan...

  2. it works well,
    drivers need to be install manually,
    but as with all combo cards if you want to use wireless N,
    then one of the internal antenna need to be upgraded,
    as it is a combo card it only has the 1 connection for wifi,
    but running on b/g is fine...

  4. you can get the drivers from hanvon support or download the entire driver/software cd,
    windows 7 will install the drivers for you and update them through windows update long as you have the wifi up and running,

    XP drivers i haven't tried myself,
    but the main-board chipset, graphic card, audio, wifi and bluetooth all support windows xp so that shouldn't be a issue,
    the touchscreen is where i am not sure,
    you can copy the .inf driver files to usb and use that in xp,
    one important thing about xp, you will only get single touch,
    but web browsing should support multi-touch...
