I just got an ATheros AR5BXB72 ar5008 802.11 a/b/g/n wirelss lan mini pci express adapter. Lenova support directed me to T60 site for installing it. the site shows I should have 3 antennas. I opened it up and only found a gray and black. The middle connection for the white was covered over. I am assuming I need a white wire for the new card. is it possible to add the 3rd antennas?

That card will work fine with two antennae, just leave the middle connector open.

I got a T60 with a Ultimate N 6300 (3 antennas) installed. I had a few spare antenna cables from my parts TPs. I did not bother to open up the screen bezel and reroute everything. I simply route it somewhere convenient within the T60 body.
