pcmcia "g" card with removable antenna?

maninblack_30 · 09-14-2005

Hello all, I'm looking for a pc card (802.11b/g) with a removable antenna to fit in a notebook I have which is designed with an internal pc card bus and a built in high-gain antenna (it needs to be physically the size as a cisco aironet 350 as this is what is meant to go in there, but I want 54Mps). Can anyone help?
as it is internal, even if someone knows of a "b/g" card thats internal layout would allow me to cut off the built on antenna, and solder on a pig-tail, that would be of great help. FYI the notebook is a panasonic toughbook CF-28.
Cheers,
Fraser

Do I read this correctly you want an internal wireless card because I use a broadcom b-g card from a hp laptop and it has 2 antenna jacks built on it, you just connect a antenna or a pigtail form the card out the back of the computer. I took out my cisco card and it also had 2 antenna jacks built onto it. I put in an attachment hopefully it works. I use a Panasonic toughbook cf-72.

I can't really tell what you want. Are you wanting a mini-PCI or a PCMCIA card?

MiniPCI, the CF28's have a minipci slot in the bottom and some of them have an antenna that comes out of the monitor. The PCMCIA slots are normally covered by a hinged door.

Think hes after a mini-PCI.
I've replaced/added a few to various Laptops over the years. eBay seems to have a nice selection, cheaper and faster shipping then most OEMs.

I think the same, I have bought a few mini-PCI cards on EBay and had them quickly. In his first sentence he said PC card though, that was my confusion.
It almost sounded like he needed and Orinoco classic or senao 2511 EXT.

I purchased a b/g card for a dell laptop (I want to say it was a 2200). Dell had the antenna's ran and everything, all i had to do was connect them.
