I'm outfitting an a30 with wireless. I've chosen a mini-pci card, which I  
will coax to work with a CMOS hack. I just have to purchase a pair of  
antennas.

Hitachi makes a good generic wideband antenna for laptop LCDs which comes  
in two flavours: 30mm square, and 50mm bar. The 50mm bar seems like it  
might be the better choice only because it's more similar to the IBM LCD  
antennas. The nice part is they range from only $7-20 GBP, which is pretty  
cheap.

Any advice would be appreciated.
