            Careful there ;-)
            The Wavelan-IEEE include diversity antenna. Actually, these
    are the most impressive antennas I've ever seen on a Pcmcia card (and
    are similar to those on the first gen Wavelan). They are two L shaped
    sheet of metal at 90 degrees, approx 1.5 cm large, raised above the
    PCB, at each corner of the card. Actually, that's why the black cover
    of the card is thicker at the end, to house the two antennas and the
    connector.
            The other cards we've open had a antenna direct on the PCB (as
    a large trace). Never opened an Aironet, though...

            On the other hand, you are right, there is only one external
    connector on the Wavelan-IEEE card.
            By the way, on my Pcmcia Aironet card (340), the antennas are
    definitely *NOT* removable and there is no connector. But it seems
    that there is two version of the Pcmcia card (quite confusing).
            Ciao...
