    I am getting ready to pull the plug and install this Wifi chip in my NP5160. The Intel 6300 has 3 antennas.
    With the new Intel it has two. Which ones do I use, or do you recommend.

    You skip the middle antenna and connect other two as they were numbered (although it would make no difference if you inverted them)
