Default Adding wireless mini PCI to Presario 2100US.

I have a Presario 2100US, I got a Compaq/HP mini PCI wireless card (Broadcom)
to put into my laptop. However, I do not see the antenna wires. Are they
tucked away in my case or do I need to buy them too?

Thanks,

My Presario 3010US came with a Broadcom Wi-Fi tranceiver that
has no visible antenna. With Windows XP, it Just Works.

Now, if I could just get the damn thing to work under Linux....
Yes, I know about ndiswrapper. I have what seems to be the
correct Windows driver to wrap in it. I just can't get it to
_do_ anything but report that it has been installed. I may wind
up pulling the Broadcom card and buying something whose
manufacturer hasn't sworn allegience to Microsoft.
