Did you ever find a satisfying answer to your question Dan? I'm asking because I have a similar problem myself. Is there anyone on here who can help me come up with a way to hook up my Broadcom 4321 mini PCI-e to my desktop?

Adrian

Sorry but that doesn't answer the question. If you don't have anything constructive to say, just don't post.

They had 3 or so different kinds. I have a ssd, so the ssd one hopefully will be good for me. However there were 2 listed for wireless as well.
