Nick,

For application where you don't need all the features of pcmcia/cardbus like hot
plug, physical case etc. it is cheaper to use minipci.  I believe more and more
notebooks are using this for install and forget expansion like wifi.  At the
moment I don't think the cost savings are apparent due to volume differences
(pcmcia cards are probably still cheaper) but this will probably change over time).

Yes, these would make great APs esp. with dual minipci slots for two cards
(uplink and local area).

Cheers,
Tom

Forgive my ignorance but d they have onboard pcmcia or would one still
need to put in pci-pcmcia adapters

Is the idea of these to  allow more sophisticated routing than is
possible with access points
