问题

超级用户读取器robertalrp想知道是否可以将本机无线适配器转换为洞：

I have an old netbook and wonder if it is possible to remove the internal wireless adapter (Atheros AR5BXB63) and convert it into an external USB wireless adapter (dongle) for another computer. My reason for doing so is to add an extra wireless adapter to the second computer without substituting it for the internal one.

Are there any methods for converting an internal wireless adapter into an external one?

答案

超级用户贡献者codenoire和Keltari为我们提供了答案。首先，codenoire：

It is possible, but why would you buy an adapter when you can get high quality USB wireless dongles on eBay for less than ten dollars? The card you have is huge and over time it will be more of a hassle to keep it out of the way than it would be to just replace it (especially if the adapter you purchased does not fully enclose the card). Keep it simple!

接着是凯尔塔里的回答：

In theory, yes. I have never seen them used, but there are mini-PCIe to USB adapters.
