[Thinkpad] I have an Atheros 802.11g 108MB card in a T23 and Idon't notice any improvement wifi range over my B or G card

[Bruce Markowitz]

Not sure what your problem is, but there are antenna plates on the end of
the wires, and they are needed. The problem is, units with built in wifi
have a provision on the LCD bezel for them, and they may not be installed
correctly in a standard bezel.
