 Thank you for detailed explanation. Of course, I'll upgrade to
9-STAVLE as it becomes STABLE :)

  Power seems not ot be a problem -- many high-power Mini-PCI cards
has additional contacts (in form of standard header, which allows to
attach unused now 3.5" FDD power connector, for example) for 5V power
to enable high-power operations. My Senao EMP card has, for example...
