    I just popped the cover off my m1530, and theres like 5 different wires not hooked to any thing, so I am assuming three are for the card. Although I got the Dell N card, and it uses only two antenna wires.

    I believe those are wires are for different cards, like EVDO or something.

    I would think that it would have just 2 antennas. If you CTO a laptop with wifi-G, it'll only come with the required two antennas I think. I don't know, it might come with three. If it comes with two, just order one online for like 10 bucks and install it yourself, it's pretty easy.
