built-in antenna, you'll notice two (or maybe one) small pigtails that are=

left there to be connected to your mini-pci wireless card.

By the way, your mini-pci card won't work without antenna... No coverage at=

all. There are cheap antennas on ebay, though, and it's not too difficult t=

install them and get a good coverage without the need to remove LCD and all=

those things...
