    Hi guys

    I am thinking upgrade my wireless connection from:

    ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter (which is what I got)

    to Intel 5300

    I know I can get the 5300 card from ebay.
    Is the antenna the same for thinkpad 11b/g mini and Intel 5300?
    if not, does it means I have to purchase Antenna parts from Lenovo?

    Thanks All

    What laptop do you own? Search for 5300 upgrade in this forum. I recently posted about my experience. You probably won't have three antennas from the old card, but the 5300 will run fine with just 2.
