Hi Guys
i bought a DWL-G650 rev B4 due to the Atheros chipset working with wildpackets driver.. My linksys WPC54GS broadcom is not supported...
anyways wardriving around with this card has its quirks.. like somtimes APs would be out of range, but still showing up on netstumbler.. otherwise it works pretty good with Airopeek NX when testing my network and doing site surveys..
i spent the last 2 days searching around the internet and found these sites for PCMCIA antenna modding..

what type of wire is this guy using for this mod?
yellow and green solder locations

that RP-SMA plug found on the card is not usable as its for only bench testing .. you will need to solder the pigtail straight on , here's a picture of my REV B4..
what i would like to know is what kind of wire/pigtail are they using to solder to the board? and what solder points would it go to?
what i know for sure..
-I would like to use the left antenna on my card with the solder points ...
-I would like to use a omni-direction antenna from this page

is it a good deal/material? (black panther 10dbi)
- which connecter/pigtail should i buy to hack off the end to solder to my board? i guess a RP-SMA to N-Connecter?
i appriciate all the help i can get and will be posting pictures as i go to help others later on who wish to attemp this mod..
