That are not good news :( What I've bought is following adapter: http://allegro.pl/adapter-wifi-mini-pci-e-na-pci-e-3-anteny-kp13-i1429732145.html (Maybe) interesting part is that it contains LED near antennas which doesn't light for me. After tracking GND line of this LED I can see it going to mini PCIe slot. So maybe it's not critical, maybe it would light if my WiFi card worked? -- RafaÅ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
