PCMCIA Hack

I have been looking at hacking apart a pcmcia card that i got for $10 from ebay. I took it apart the other day and noticed that it has a strange connector on it.. Anyone seen this before..?
I thought that it was a UFL connector but it doesnt appear to be. Some online forums said that it was mc or ufl but doesnt look like either..?
I shall get a pic in a day or so.. Just be patient.


Marryatville ap getting closer to being an AP

This site has been here for a while, almost 5 months and slowly getting closer to becoming an ap. The latest upgrade towards that was an upgrade from a
-Celeron 333Mhz Pc
-256mb SDram
-20gb hd (o/s linux + other partitions)
to a new computer donated by DJ-Hip from his surplus storage
-AMD Athlon XP 2000+
-1GB DDR2
-20gb (temp dir), 13gb (apache www server) and 10gb (o/s Gentoo Linux)
This will provide a lot better traffic flow when the ap is put up, as the Cel 333 was strugling with running when there was no ap. The wireless gear has remained the same 25db Hills dish to skye, Atheros 400mw card. The ap card is installed (sort of) which is a orinoco 20mw card. This will be upgraded as it is very very week for an ap.
The computer/server also moved in my roof, here are some pics.
