An even dumber question.
I've read that one can attach an external antenna to an Orinoco PCMCIA card,
but how exactly does one do it?
What connector is required?
I'm just looking at an Orinoco Gold card,
and while I see various sealed orifices
(two rectangular and one circular)
through which connections might conceivably pass
it's not at all clear to me how this is intended to be done.
Does one have to break one or more of these seals?
