Mini-PCI network card to use with NetStumbler?

Question

I'd like to replace my 802.11b PC Card with an 802.11g mini-PCI card (I'm paranoid that I'm going give the protruding PC Card a fatal blow one of these days). I'd also like to play around with NetStumbler. Are mini-PCI cards suitable for use with NetStumbler? What model(s) should I look for?

Thanks!
-- Rich

Thanks. This is for an Inspiron 8200, by the way. It looks like the Truemobile 1400 a/b/g card will be a good bet. I'll try to remember to post back after I've actually tried one. -- Rich

The Atheros cards work well too, and the high power ones from Senao/Engeniu are the simply the best out there for NetStumbling.

Thank you, Matt! It doesn't look like there are a lot of stores carrying the Senao/Engenius dual-band mini-PCI cards, but there are some. Now I just need to figure out where the money will come from... :-)
