I am wanting to upgrade my acer aspire 7741g-6426 single wifi card to a dual band card, does anyone know what cards are and are not compatible with acer?  I am wanting intel but have read where they do not play nice with some bios, and I am having trouble tracking down new atheros wifi dual band cards.

    There is no option to upgrade the wireless card on this laptop.

    Are you sure about that?  I read about someone able to upgrade their wifi card in a netbook that is older than my computer,  i really do not see why it would not be possible to upgrade it.
