wondering if anyone’s ever upgraded the wireless car on the U101? It’s only got b and i’d love to put a g card in it. Any clues as to where tofind such a part number. I’m about to head off into the ether and search the net to see if anyone knows.

...well the ‘strange connector’ is most likely the antenna, pribably two of those.

haven’t been able to find jack about it so far…..dammit. I have been using the b and have a g pcmcia card. Interesting the b has heaps more range than the g, slower but i think it’s got about double the range.
