This laptop does have an internal antenna. You can turn your minipci
card off anytime because it is plug and play. The way to do that will
be once you install  the card, in the bottom right hand corner of your
screen next to the clock there will be a little green plug and play
icon. All you have to do is click disable.

Various 802.11g wireless cards seem to have differing ranges for their
antenna.  www.negate.com offers a where you can add an antenna of your
choice http://www.netgate.com/index.php?cPath=26_39.  The new 802.11n
offers a wider range, but the standard has not yet been defined, even
though companies are manufacturing 802.11n cardbus cards and routers.

Thank you,
