    Hi ...

    I just recently ordered the 1520 with the Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 802.11 a/b/g Mini Card Wireless. Can anyone who has the 1520 with the 3945 confirm that they have the 3rd antenna included in their build?? Is the 3rd antenna tucked away ... apparently it is a grey wire according to the Dell user guide. I read some discusson on the M1330 ... however I could not find anything about the 1520.

    I want to know that I can upgrade in the future to Wireless N in the event I need it.

    Thanks!!
