 Lots of features for the price
This is a good starter card for alot of the sytems here. I found that it had a lot of features for the price. Make sure you order the SHORTEST U.FL pigtails for your application. The type of coax is a bit lossy, and when I had it connected to longer pieces of similar coax the performance suffered.

 Thanks to all at Netgate! I love this card!
I love this card! I bought it as a replacement for the Broadcom card in my Dell Inspiron 8600 that had died. Installation is easy, and configuration with the Atheros driver software is very comprehensive. Thanks to all at Netgate!
