    Do you know what type of WiFi card you want to install??

    Changing card is really simple. All you have to do is open case, gently remove antenna connectors from card, unscrew existing WiFi card and replace with new. There is only one small problem if you want to use 802.11n card which require 3 antennas. In that case you have to install third one somewhere in netbook case.

    There is picture showing Wi-Fi card itself: http://picasaweb.google.it/FFurcas/AA1# ... 9472407362

    Actually you have to dismantle keyboard and plastic cover on top. You will see WiFi card. Be carefull with cables linking keyboard and touchpad with plugs in the motherboard... There is a thred about dismantling AA1...
