I'm going to install a pci to mini pci adapter with a bridge chip into the Efika board. I received my board yesterday so I will tell you the results.
The adapter is a routerboard 14 which I bought for other project. With a pci riser the adapter doesn't fit so one more reason to develop a custom adapter.
