BTW, just came to think about a possible HW hack to the newt - what about
adding a separate antenna? you could just get a std lucent antenna plug and
use it w your card, but it would require a HW hack that im not sure will
work out easily.
***the PCMCIA pins of an airport card are wired somewhat differently, ie two
of the pins are deliberately switched, so that apple could keep it "apple
only" - i know its stupid, but its also true****
this way, i mean IF the HW hack will succed, you will have a dedicated
airport PCMCIA slot which will not sport an excess antenna when idle. the
downner here is that youll have to live with the fact that your newt will
miss one expansion slot.
anyone good at airport and/or PCMCIA?
is this doable? is it difficult?
