[MLB-WIRELESS] Diamond Home-Free wireless.

[Tony Langdon]

Thats the big stumbling block, no ext ant.  If someone can get into one with
a dig cam and post for the group to see, theres enough loons with a
soldering iron here to say yay or nay to getting them wired.  As for a
driver I dont care, I want them in windoze for my app, but how about
approaching Jean T or other genious types to ask them how hard it is to
compile something like that?!  Look at the reviews for these things (like on
the ebay pages for them) and youll see theyre slow as a wet weak, but for
the price woohoo!  From the pics Ive seen it may be hard to wire an ant, but
Ive not seen inside them. 
 
Looks like I might have to test my soldering skills. :)  I have worked on
some _really_ small surface mount gear, so the challenge of a couple of
wireless cards sounds good. :)
 
As long as I can find a point where's there's RF with 50 ohms impedance and
enough space to fit a small bit of solder, I think we're in with a chance.

Its a bit hard to tell but right next to each other I find I get about the
max, so the strongest signal is the fastest and then the further you get
away from each other the slower it goes. 
You have to remember they are very cheap cards. They could be quite valuable
if we can find a way to hook on an ext. ant, I haven't been able to get them
working in Linux

 lol thats my auction. 
I bought a couple of these from the US to play around with.. The range isn't
very good but if we could hack on an ext. ant they're very cheap to buy
which is a huge plus.

On the same topic, looking at the pic of the card it looks near impossible 
to mod for an external ant, if the rectangular gold bit is a wafer ant?? 
Anyone?
