If you just want the kernel modules you need instead of downloading the whole opie-image, they can also be found at:

ok here is what ive learned from after doing this mod,  the attn on the card is a one 1wire patch (i found the part on the net one day don't remember where though) its just one wire in this case (dosn't make much sinse to me but hay it works) when looking at the place where the attn is from left to right there are 2 pads the left one is the main one (middle wire for the attn) basicy just soder your lead (in my case cut pigtail rp-tnc) soder the core wire to the left pad and the rest to some ground spot (what i did) the right pad is not connected to anything from what i can see.

more pics to come as soon as i retake them, sorry to keep ya all holding

Sorry for bumping an old post, (I'm rather bored at the moment) but I'm sure many would be happy if this was successful. Does anyone know if it's theoritically possible? From the sounds of it, you'll need to do more work then just sticking the antenna on. Anyone with a spare lying around willing to sauder in some wires?

Well now old topic  getting a new bump. but this time some news

 ive done it. its easy so far it works.  i used a rp-tnc connector with a tail from an old linksys ap. (  the little white thing on top of the board is the antenna. it has only one wire comming to it (on the left side when holding the card led to you)  i sodered the core from the rp-tnc cable to the left pad after unsodering the little white antenna and the outer cable to the silver metel protector for ground for that was the only close spot for ground.  so far it works well. iam using a 5dbi ducky  my connection with wavemon on my laptop tells me that i have a much stronger signal. have pics but have not went though them to post them yet.

5x00 Hardware / 5600 battery/power problems

« on: November 12, 2004, 12:49:24 pm »

also i would add it would be wise to check out the votage of the batts and make shure there correct (might need a load on them)... and there is a section i beleave in the nand menu to where you can fine tune the battery but your on your own there.... (you been warned)..    now if i remember correctly the powerpack that you built uses 9v batts and if so you most likely messed the Z up (blew a fuse in that has to be sodered in?)  i think the  Z can take a range from 4.8-5.2 but 5.2 is pusing it

ive done one card so far (its still working) an AnbCom Wl1100c-cf the funky shaped blue top on your card looks as if it could pop off (on my card it dose but its a different card) you could use a razor blade to pry it off (don't cut your self) then slighty pry the metel clip clip of the sides of the card the metel should then be able to rise off on the edges of the metel are small little tabs that are on a 90 degree angle be aware of them.. it should come off easy...  the card is most likely glued with some ruber glue on the bottem so when removeing that part be carefull not to bend the card...   you should be able to figure out the rest keep us updated..  

  your card may be different but i hope this helps
