I saw the internal laptop antennas a while back at vetco in Bellevue--with the pigtails and tiny (u.fl) plugs for mini pci aps.. up to you to figure out how/where to fit it in your laptop. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Westervelt Sent: Friday, December 24, 2004 11:03 AM To: SeattleWireless Talk List Subject: Re: WTB WTTF mini-pci WiFi card with integral antenna You probably don't want to put the antenna in the mini-pci cavity as it's likely shielded. You should either pick up an internal laptop antenna (you can get stuff like this for macs at pbparts, not sure about pcs), make one yourself (they're pretty simple), or go for something external like one of the maxrad blade antennas (goes on the lid, but is thin and small). The connector is U.FL, and although I have some pigtails, it's unlikely your brother will want an N (or even RP-TNC) sticking out of his computer. -matt On Dec 23, 2004, at 10:46 PM, Daniel Marsh wrote: > I would like to get my brother a mini-pci wireless card for his laptop > for Christmas.
