Not sure specifically what you're asking so I'll cover it all. The Compaq cards have a little plastic plug over the antenna connector, pop this out and you will find the connector.
Next you need to hook up an antenna. The connector is a Orinoco, Lucent, etc. So you will either need one of their antennas or a pig tail to adapt another antenna (pringles can, yagi, etc.).
Here are a couple "example" links:

Are the little antennas that screw into the WL110 card worth it?
Or are you better off getting a pigtail/antenna combo?

I guess what I am asking is " is what you would gain from using the little screw in job even worth it?"

Where do you get these things anyway, I tried at compaq but could not find them listed as an accessory, would lucent/orinoco
be an option since they seem to make the cards for Compaq?

Thanks!

Hi,
There aren't any "screw in" type antennas that will work with the Orinoco/Lucent/Avaya/Compaq/Etc. cards without the use of the pigtail. You will need a pigtail to use an external antenna or you will need an antenna with the small Orinoco connector on it such as the Orinoco/Lucent Range Extender antenna which has the small "snap in" connector.
You can get the pigtails from Fab-corp.

Hopefully this will help.
