...does anyone know of a good minipci wlan card to replace the crappy one that came with my Area51m? I want a good connection and the ability to turn it on or off via the button on the notebook.

MAny of the desktop PCI wireless cards can be taken apart to reveal the mini-PCI. The same drivers are used and it will work just fine.

I am curious if anyone out there has replaced the mini-PCI to see if the card itself is the problem. It is possible that the antenna wiring may be a problem.

Booga-
What type/brand of desktop card would work and is it very difficult to take the desktop card apart? If ("when" seems more likely) I start having problems with the card that comes with my lappie, I'd like to give this a try.
