OK, I stand corrected.

Ironically mine came with the antenna but not the wireless card. I know that when the G5 was stolen they knocked out the Bluetooth antenna so I've still got that, may be the case with the WiFi antenna too. I'll have a rummage through my box of bits and pieces this weekend and if I find it you're m
