Which as luck would have it is within a mile of my office. So I just drove over there.
Terrific.
1. Mis-type of the url: it is actually http://www.pcdglobal.com :)
Yes.. thanks for correcting.
2. Which model do you have? The Mini-PCI 802.11b/g AR5004?
I purchased the 802.11a/b/g AR5004:5213+5112. I have not been able to test the 802.11a... but b/g work just fine. For whatever reason (someone may be able to answer) the card is detected as 5212a/b/g by ath. Works fine so I'm happy.
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfafe0000-0xfafeffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
The prices I was quoted when I purchased: Cost for the modules are:
Part Number Description Qty Price
T60H835.00 802.11a/b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs
$75.00
(Atheros:AR5213+AR5112) 40 pcs $55.00 T60H786.00 802.11b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs
$65.00
(Atheros:AR5213+AR2112) 40 pcs $45.00They (Chris Bartlett) were nice enough to give me the 40pc price for a single.
DO NOTE: They told me they do not do returns... also.. there was no packing. They reached into a closed with thousands of them... wrapped the miniPCI in bubble wrap and handed it to me. So there may be no docs/support or anything. They apparently sell to OEM. I didn't need anything but the card... so it didn't bother me.
