That's probably an ExpressCard slot. Welcome to the bleeding edge. :) > I need to find an external wireless card that I can hook a cable to and > get actual dB data from various antennas. I'm not sure such a creature exists yet. I suspect most laptops that have the new ExpressCard slot also have built-in wireless, so there isn't a perceived market for it. > Anyone have any idea what this is and/or what I can do to make this work? Well, if you're so inclined, chances are the laptop has a mini-PCI slot (if you've got onboard wireless, it definitely does). In theory, you could drill a little teensy hole in the mini-PCI slot cover, and run a pigtail out from the onboard wireless card to an external antenna. It'd look awfully ghetto but it'd probably work. (Disclaimer: This is a crazy idea. David Smith, his boss, and MVN take no responsibility for this. Void where prohibited.
