    I attached 1 month ago an Intel 5300, 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N Mini-PCI-Express-Card into my CF-19. But i had no 3.antenna - thought i.
    If u detach the right cover from the lid u found surprisingly this, what u see on the first picture.
    Now i bought an Wifi-Antenna-Kit and snipped the cables near the antennas. So I have the connectors for the WLAN-CARD ready fixed on thin antenna-cables. The difficulty was the routing of the cables. It is good to have an look in to the Manual of the CF-19. I routed both cables to the right side of the lid,because i want to add an GPS-antenna later. So the brighter cable is a dummy meanwhile.
    I hope the pictures speak for themself.

    The last picture show the connection on the Wifi-CARD. I changed the middle and the left plugs on the card against in the picture shown, for a better signal.
