    Just get another antenna and wire it ourself. Also since he doesnt want it just take the entire machine and gut it. You can still get a good amount of money for it. No point in trashing it.

    Sometimes you have to help yourself out. See if your friend will give you one of his antenna's too. Then open up your laptop to install the card and see if you can figure out how to get an extra antenna in there. You might be able to route it along with the existing antennas.
