I'm curious what you mean by 'support that.'  I assumed that if you had 
a mini-pc, any mini-pc card should work.  Am I incorrect on this assumption?

I recently tried to use an Xterasys mini-pci card in my hp pavilion.  It 
won't even boot with the card in.  I get:

104-Unsupported wireless network device detected.
System haulted.  Remove device and restart.

I figured this was simply hp's way of forcing you to purchase the higher 
priced laptop that has the card already in it.

I'm assuming it might be that this laptop does not have an antenna for a 
mini-pci card, thus they don't want you calling support when such a card 
does not work.  I was expecting that card would work, just that my range 
would be (quite) limited.

Insights would be appreciated.

Pointers for where one might purchase such a card?
