I have a VAIO pcg-nvr23 laptop that i found has a mini-pci slot on the bottom. I also have a D-Link DWL-520+ pci wan card that I disassembled and found that it contains a mini-pci card inserted into a slot that then gets installed into a normal pci slot.After removing the mini card from the larger card, I've installed this into my laptop and can connect to the lan but the signal strength is way low. The laptop was not pre-wired for wireless(an internal antenna) so I need to find one to install or could someone point me in the right direction to putting something together to increase the reception strength. I'm trying to find room inside the case for the dipole antenna that came with the full size card but it's just too tight in there. Thanks
