Like with LAN cards, hard disks etc. What do I do wrong? A search at wikidevi.com for "atheros pcie" finds a few PCIe cards, and a bunch of mini-PCIe cards. There might be a better search term to show just desktop-type PCIe. There are adapter cards to put a mini-PCIe card in a PCIe slot, which provides more versatility.
