I have a Compaq Presario 2100 series, and I have gotten tired of my card bus wireless card, it always hangs out of the computer. So I bought a MiniPci card for the WiFi. I do not know how to get to the wifi antenna. The WiFi was not installed from the factory. I think I see the wires to the antenna I just dont know how to get to them. Anyone installed a card as such.

If your notebook didn't come with a wireless card installed, it probably doesn't have antennas installed in it. What do you mean, you think you see them? And if you see them...how can you not get to them?

They aren't hard to make, though. A few bucks worth of connectors from radio shack, and a good hour or two with your notebook.
