You metal about three times the thickness of regular kitchen-tinfoil and you need to get it connected to the metal case of the card. If you just wrap the tinfoil around the plastic part, it will just act like a capacitor in series with the antenna and likely as not not make any difference at all. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
