RE: WiFi Antennas The problem with any of those shown are that they date back to before 99% of the laptops had built in WiFi, to when you plugged in an external card to the laptop to get WiFi and therfore had simple access to the antenna connector. Now that is all buried inside the laptop, no access to the antenna without physically hacking into the insides of the laptop. And the software is set to look at the internal antenna and assiciated haredware. I'm sure that there is software out there that would alow you to add a USB connected external antenna but casual searching doesn't bring it up Anyone have a bunch of info on this subject? (Because I use my laptop when traveling in my Westy, VC)
