    I'm thinking of installing an Atheros mini PCIe Wi-Fi card in the second mini PCIe slot on my AOD250.

    My question is:
    Can the pair of antennas currently in the D250 extend to the second mini PCIe slot? Or is either of them too short?
    I want to avoid opening the LCD screen of my AOD250 as much as possible.

    why noy just get a half height card? if you have to open it up anyways, wouldn't it just be easier just to go the half height route

    I just did that a few days ago.

    On opening the AOD250, I noticed that for my netbook the antennas were long enough to reach the second PCIe slot. BUT only if I dissemble the LCD screen to reroute the relevant antenna. I wasn't ready to go that far so I settled for a mini PCI card.
