FYI, I know what you mean from the picture on the SMC site, but mine
(which I bought at CompUSA) didn't come with the extra antenna. The
black plastic part of the card (the "built-in" antenna) does snap off
(with a little effort) so you could use a different antenna, but I get
excellent results with just the black plastic part that sticks out of
the side of my ThinkPad!

In fact I consider the fact that it *can* snap off as a little extra
protection, in that it will snap off if I catch it on something rather
than wrenching the pcmcia slot (haven't had to test it yet- but it's a
good theory!)

Good luck- let us know what you end up getting!
