Indeed. But in my research I actually saw USB-based wifi on both frys.com and pricewatch.com, as well as full PCIE, but mPCIE, not so common, at least at the low-end price-points I was looking at (pricewatch normally ranks by price, optionally including shipping, and frys can be set to do so, and I saw USB-based and PCIE near the low end, mPCIE might have been available, but further up the list than I looked, or perhaps I just missed it). So I'm simply going by what I know to be out there, actually available. ... Now you'll probably link a newegg mPCIE-based wifi antenna. Not that I'll complain! =:^) Thanks, BTW. You're being immensely helpful, helping me work out all this stuff far faster than I would have been able to on my own. Meanwhile, when I get it all up and running, I expect to return the favor, probably putting it up on the gentoo wiki. When I did my original Acer Aspire One netbook setup with gentoo, I was able to follow wikis both gentoo and others (arch, some guy had an entire dedicated AA1 site with intense Linux coverage...), and it made things *MUCH* easier. But I didn't really see anything like that for amd64-based routers. So this will allow me to return the favor and make it MUCH easier for others. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
