    I just got an atheros ABG card for my w2v today. I go to install the card and it goes in fine except the antena cables on the w2v cant reach the aux or main port on the card they are to short is there anything i can do like maybe an extention cable.

    Check if cables are actually sticked to the mainboard with some sticky tape (I might be using the wrong term in english here, but I think you can understand). My cables were fixed on three places, and when I removed the tape, I could pull it for 3-4 cm more.

    Cheers,
