+* '''External Antenna Jack :''' RP-SMA  (RP-SMA RP-TNC ) 

+This card was shipped to us by mistake and I found it floating in a draw. 

+The Ant portion is double height - makes it useless to use in the bottom slot. 

+Unit snaps apart from the sides, then the "ant. cover" comes off with plastic clips around the outside. 

+ 

+has two leds - showing "diversity". Most webpages I have found on this card says that one ant is only for recieve (not sure which one). 

+ 

+The external ant is inaccesible for normal use (to use it you will need to remove the cover to get to it - and drill a hole in the cover to keep it connected. According to websites I have found it is an "MT" connector (but haven't found a stockist yet). 

+You can bypass the external ant with some solder pads that are on the board - or unsolder the connector. 

+ 

+Had a lot of problems with this unit in my Thinkpad T41, with an internal mini-pci card - aparently the drivers are sufficuently similar that they affect each other. Make sure you disable the mini-pci card if you are going to try and use this as an additional (or in my case - external ant).

+Drivers accessible via IBM website.
