    Would you consider a PCMCIA or USB Wireless adatper. Would be pretty cheap.

    Try Ebay if you can get the make/model . I sold a laptop ~ 5 yrs ago with the same issue. The guy buying it didn't have have a problem with the PCMCIA card i installed.

    ...any should do

    had the same problem myself couple of years ago...an old wireless router's antenna may work (just remove the black plastic leaving only the wire), simply tuck the wire neatly inside the case of your laptop...worth a shot as I 'think' the connections are the same size

    + what all the users are saying, I'm sure any will work, just make sure you get them with enough length to route through your laptop, the connectors that plug in the the wireless card are all a standard size I'm fairly certain!
