    Wireless access points with Intel chipsets

    I am wondering if there are any wireless access points (not PCs) with an Intel wireless chipset (of the mini-PCI or mini-PCI Express type).
    Please mention any examples here, with internal images if possible.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    You can use an Asus WL-500g Premium Version 1 which has a removable mini-pci Broadcam nic.

    Of course the router will not work if you do this, because the firmware is designed with the drivers of the card from the manufacturer. In OpenWRT however, this is possible.

    I don't know that anyone's ever done it with Intel wireless though, IWLWIFI in Linux is binary only and requires a seperate firmware file. Usually people just replace it with an Atheros.

He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      IMO atheros chips are gd!

        i dunno why you want intel, but generally intel wifi cards use broadcom chips. they are not compatible with linux very well. usually atheros and ralink are better.

          Intel wireless cards use their own chip, not Broadcom.

            In a Netgear DG834GT, the main logic board had a Broadcom chipset while the mini-PCI wireless card had an Atheros chipset.
