Up for the Mini PCI slot is the TI ACX111 MiniPci card i pulled form a broken Linksys wrtp54g i found.

i used the drivers for the Airlink AWLC3025 PCMCIA card by Downloading the EXE and Extracting the files with 7-ZIP
Note: this card has poor linux support

for the Antenna i will use this:

a dual Antenna http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0157448873
(photo in gallery)

i will be installing 1 behind the LCD and 1 under the Keyboard, because based on The forum here everyone gets better reception with the Antenna in the plam rest based on the metal in Laptop, but i may cut a hole.

i didnt pay atention and ordered a set form China... so it will be a couple of weeks before i get them grr.... :cry:

I've seen these antennae in an Ebay auction (Article no. 320146077885), and the seller had installed them both underneath the palmrest of his T22. He claimed this gave good reception. I would try this kind of arrangement before cutting any holes.
