[SOLVED] Intel WiFi Link 5300 Half Mini PCIe Card Compatibility

emaad22

I am interested in buying UP squared board for our project. I have two concerns before I can make a buying decision.

1. I plan to install an "Intel WiFi Link 5300 Agn Dual Band Wireless WLAN 533an HMW Half Mini PCIe Card" on this board. I intend to operate this specifically under Ubuntu 14.04 OS. Is this WiFi card compatible with the UP squared?

2. I intend to collect a few datasets using this board. What are my options to add storage to this board?

Moreover please let me know what standard accessories are included with the board and what are the recommended ones for the UP squared? I am specifically looking at RE-UPS-APLP4-A10-0864 Up squared board.
