You could probably sell it on ebay.




And what is the special asus slot? It is a normal PCI card. In the


manual it

says remove the bracket on the pci slot you INTEND to use. It says nothing
about put it in slot 1 2 or three.

It is not a small AMR or what card, normal PCI




On certain ASUS motherboards, there is a AMR-like interface, which is
used along with a specific ASUS brand card/external antenna, permitting
you to not only access a WiFi network, but act as an AP for others.

You can't use it in other motherboards, and you can't use PCI slot 5 on
the motherboards that have it if you are using the proprietary card.



There is a picture here. It looks like a PCI edge card.

Uses one of the Ralinktech chipsets. The MAC chip RT2560F has
PCI and Cardbus options.

Slap it into a PCI slot and try it.

Thats not the same as the WiFI slot in my P4C800-E, its a weird connector.
