Hi - I'd like to add an external antenna to my laptop. It's a Dell 600M with a Dell Truemobile 1400 card in it. Strangely enough - it has two antennas attached - one has a white wire the other has a black wire. Don't know the difference between them. I am hoping to find something like a switched panel mount bnc connector or something - so that when I don't have an antenna it will use the built in ones, and when I do have an antenna attached it will use that one instead. Anyone have any advice or pointers for me? Thanks!
