zogthegreat Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, Doing a rebuild of my Lenovo X61 into a Kali Linux "Uberbook", and I am looking for recomendations for the internal NIC. I have a modified BIOS that will allow me to install any internal NIC that I want. Ccurrently I am running a Atheros Ar5B195 w/ Bluetooth 3.0, however, this card is not a "true" wifi N in that it lacks the connector for the third antenna. Any suggestions? Thanks zog Edited June 27, 2013 by zogthegreat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zogthegreat Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi vector, I would prefer a half but I am not to picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi vector, I would prefer a half but I am not to picky. well it depends on what fits in your laptop. do you have half mini slots or are you looking to put a half mini card in a full mini slot with an adapter?

vector Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I currently have a half mini with an adapter. are you looking for a specific chipset? what is it about the ar9285 chipset that you dont like, aside from the single stream N? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zogthegreat Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 The single stream N. I know that it is a fine NIC, but I am building an "Uberbook", so I want to have a slightly better NIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
