Warning: Not all Orinoco Silver Cards are the same

After seeing the Orinoco Gold and Silver cards mentioned frequently
with regards to the fact that they have an external antenna connector,
I found a good deal on a Proxim Orinoco Silver card and bought it.

Today I open the box and discover that this Proxim Orinoco Silver
Model 8421-WD DOES NOT have an external antenna connector.

My post serves two purposes:

1. As a warning to others. Make sure the silver card you see listed
for sale has an external antenna connector.

2. As a plea for help. Has anyone taken this particular model
(8421-WD) apart to see if a connector can be attached to the card?

The store I bought it from Yesmicro.com doesn't look like they'll take
it back. It's either ebay or it's going under the surgeons knife on
the shop bench.

Bummer. The description at
< http://www.proxim.com/products/all/o...ard/index.html >
indicates that Gold has the connector, and Silver doesn't.

That model number doesn't appear on my card.
My Silver Orinoco has the connector, and the numbers
T/N 31709241
P/N 019649/B
PC24E-11-FC/R
FCC ID IMRWLPCE2411R


On the other hand, since I've gotten the Orinoco, I've only had one case
where adding my 5DB omni has actually made a connection for me that I
couldn't get without it.
