adding a RP-SMA connector

Hi, do anyone have any recommendations on where i can place a RP-SMA connector for a connection to a external High Gain WLAN antenna?

I think that this option is best:

1) fabricate a small metal plate that is inserted in the PMCIA card location, that location already has 2 small threaded holes on my panasonic. It originally held a WLAN ( 3G ) card.

The small coax cable that leads to the connector in the rear will be unplugged and some insulating tape wrapped around the end so it does not short out something by a mistake. The end of it fill be taped to a suitable location so the original configuration can be restore easily.

A antenna that is fairly easy to make:

A antenna with 13 dbi Gain, somewhat complicated:

Check into dummy / filler or blank pcmcia cards on fleabay. They are made out of hard plastic, but may work for you.

They are easy to add but sometimes hard to find a bulkhead or place to mount to.
