My Proxim Orinoco 11a/b/g ComboCard has no external antenna port, but I would like to add an external antenna. So far, I have obtained a 5dB omnidirectional antenna, as well as a pigtail for converting the TNC connector of the antenna to bare wireless leads, and I have pried off the case surrounding the card's integrated antenna. The results look like this: http://doc.ece.uci.edu/~tharmon/files/antenna_leads.jpg http://doc.ece.uci.edu/~tharmon/files/orinoco_combocard.jpg My next step is to solder the leads of the antenna to the card, and that is where I am stuck. I am not sure what to solder where. I have located a couple of documents that describe how to do this, such as: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/searchEnterpriseLinux/ downloads/sample.pdf http://www.jonadams.com/pages/wifi/wpc11_hack.htm But these deal with cards whose layouts are quite a bit different from my Proxim model. Any suggestions (or pointers to other documents) would be appreciated. Thanks!
