no problem with a 3dbi gain. Most cards have max power output of 15mw which means antennas with gains of upto 12-14dbi (can't be bothered to do the exact calculations) keep you within the UK EIRP of 100mw. You can find wifi cards that output more than the 'usual' 15mw but as you say the chances of a mini PCI card designed for a laptop doing this are remote in the extreme.
