Wifi card problem

[john ranger]

I'm having a real hard time finding a wifi card for my desktop that works with this program AiropeekNX

These are the cards that are recomended but they are all for desktop pc's.

Is there a way to use a laptop card in a desktop with some kind of adaptor?

Thanks

Yes but I thought I was in the wrong forum

What you need to do is find a specialized Wifi site that has a database of adapters and chipsets. I've seen them before, but don't have a list handy. That list of yours has a ton of adapters, but I'd bet that there are only a few different chipsets represented. Look through the database for PCI (preferred) and USB adapters for a good match.
