[Trotter]

Abit has developed a PCI-E wi-fi card for PCs.

Finally, there might actually be some development for the x1 and x4 slots on so many mobos.

This is good news hopefully more manufacturers will start to ship PCI-E x1 devices.

Funny-looking WiFi card to me.

What's that extra gizmo at the end? A microphone?

It doesn't look very good, but yeah, at least you can use PCI-E for somethign.
