    My understanding is that with the internal mini pci wireless card (not PCMCIA), you will need the internal antenna, which are actually 2 antennas routed to different areas under the keyboard or alongside the screen, depending on your laptop. With out these, I don't think you will get satisfactory reception, if you get any at all. If its too hard to install the internal antennas in your laptop, you might be better off with a PCMCIA slot card, or a USB wireless adapter.
