Yah. True. I had USB on my mind as I just ordered a new wireless-n today
along with a usb adapter right before this thread started.

'course it doesn't have to be USB :)

I've swapped the mini-pci wireless card in my dell laptop a few times, so

I've also seen PCI wireless N cards from various vendors ... no idea how
well they work though.
