Can one buy a mini-PCI replacement card?  My laptop has a Realtek RTL8139,
which is on a mini-PCI card I think.  I don't use it, as I use the
wireless exclusively now for the laptop.  Can I just remove the Mini-PCI
card?  (Currently I can't boot this machine without loading the RTL8139
driver)  Can one buy a wireless mini-PCI card (when the driver is finally
released for it that is)?
