Ive got a Linksys 7dbi high gain antenna with an SMA connector. Is there a way that I can hard wire this antenna to my TOSHIBA Satellite laptop without too much soldering or mess so that I can make a reliable connection? Has this been done before? Thanks for any and all ideas. 8O

Sure, buy a PCMCIA card or USB adapter that has an SMA connector on it.

Thank you. Any tips on brand/source for a quality PCMCIA/SMA card? Also, what is the native gain now on the TOSHIBA notebook?. I read somewhere that the TOSHIBA wireless antenna is built into the LCD frame. Thanks again.
