Motherboard networking, being soldered into the motherboard would not be upgradeable in a sense, but they are in fact as upgradable as any PCI based card. You upgrade a MoBo network connection that same way you upgrade a PCI based one, you buy a new PCI networking card and either move or disable the old hardware.

Wondering what proprietary connection would their be for WiFi ? it's wireless ... with perhaps a standard antenna screw on connection

2. Powerline networking oft has interference issues and offers hazards related to power surges.

3. Built in WiFi also comes with external antennae.

4. I don't see PCI versus built in as having any inherent performance advantages... those being more related to the quality of the individual...

thanks a lot brother.. that is all I needed to know..
the reason m asking is that I'm planning on building a new desktop and some of the mobo's does not include wifi antennas, so I was wondering if that would make a problem..
best wishes, thanks again :)
