It also does not have a built-in antenna. It is normal PCMCIA with a funny power reconfig. You can get it to work using a bit of soldering and diode in, say, an isa 2 pcmcia card. You propably do not want to do this to your laptop :-) assuming you can get there on a multi layer circuit board. The white lucent passive antenna's seem to work fine with it. I get a decent range and thing gets hot; i.e. no clear signs of impedance mismatch issues. DW.
