This page shows some of the modifications I have done to my hardware.
Not much in the way of explanations yet, but I want to get the site
up and running, then I can concentrate on the finer details. Of course
I would be happy to answer any questions and help people with their mods.

D-Link DWL660 PCMCIA 802.11b Wireless Card |
This was the first one I modded. The results were great. Coupled with
a 5dBi mag-mount antenna sure mad a heap of difference.

Netgear WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card |
This was the third one I did, the second was a guys from WA that posted it to me.
I wasn't happy with the performance the first time I did it and pulled it open
again. Turns out I had soldered over a small through PCB trace that looks like it would be for
an external antenna on a different revision of the board. I had inadvertently
shorted the antenna out! Its all good now though and works great. Notice the direction of the
coax coming from the card. I found that with the dlink, it was pressed up against
the car seat and bending it in a way that I didn't like. It sits real nice this way.
