Hi [member=7710]hackneydave[/member]
An easy way is to prevent the pci card from auto connecting.
1) left click on your network icon in the panel and choose "Edit Connections" should be at the bottom
2) Under wifi you will see 2 possible connections, you'll have to decide which is your pci card and which is your dongle, but trial and error will do no harm, you can always undo the following if it is the wrong card
3) double click on one wifi card to edit it
4) click on the General tab and untick the box at the top that says to Automatically connect when available
5) close the dialog and reboot
6) only one card should now be connected, left click on your network icon again and you should be able to tell which wifi card is not connected. If it is the wrong one just repeat the above but tick the box this time, then untick the box for the other card.
Just tried this on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with onboard and usb dongle and it works
