Hi,
I have a thinkpad T40 running OpenBSD and live in a small, nice city close to Barcelona whose city hall offers free wifi Internet to everybody.
Unfortunately they do not have a good coverage and where my building is, I don't get any signal. The card is identified by OpenBSD as ath0, which means it's Atheros.
Now, I am thinking of building an external wifi antenna but I don't have the slightest idea of how to do it. I don't have the time (unfortunately! it looks fun!) of building the antenna by myself, like here
'Antenna on the Cheap (er, Chip)'
This guy seems to have managed to do exactly what I would like
'PORTATIL IBM CON ANTENA WIFI 9 DBI EXTERNA Y 2 BATERIA en venta en eBay.es (finaliza el 27-ene-08 14:55:38 H.Esp)'
2) how do I attach the antenna to the thinkpad?
3) will it be compatible with the card?4) will the OS automatically "see" a broader range? I mean, is it something mechanical or will I have to play around with the driver?
thanks in advance!
Pau
