I installed antennae in an X22. It's not difficult, if you're willing to 
invest a few hours with a screwdriver - see the Hardware Maintenance 
Manual for how to do this.

Unfortunately, the MiniPCI give you 3 options: ethernet, modem and wifi 
- but you can only have two.

I'd recommend a PCMCIA card for simplicity - check it is supported by 
Linux natively before you buy.

HTH,
