Actually, I had never heard of a u.fl connector until you mentioned it, but upon further research, it seems that the part you are referring to is not a u.fl connector at all. You can see a real u.fl connector here: http://www.hirose.co.jp/cat2002e/co_axial/miniature/image/u_fl_1.jpg Note that this is different from the part on my card, which is funnel-shaped, not cylindrical like the u.fl, and it has no center pin. It appears to be merely a tap to the wire below, as shown here: http://atari.saturn5.com/~jwb/smc/connector.jpg I found the above picture from this discussion: http://lists.bawug.org/pipermail/wireless/2002-January/019314.html They seemed to come to the conclusion that the connector is merely for diagnostic/testing at the factory. So, how would I go about soldering the leads of my antenna to this board? Do I just solder one wire to one internal antenna part and the other wire to the other part?
