I have a "G" type bus card that works well in the Toshiba but its reception
ability is not as good as the built in antenna.  And that's the problem with
most WiFi Lan bus cards.  I also have a Netgear USB "N" model WiFi receiver
with a long cable.  That works best of all but using it is inconvenient
especially away from home.

Most notebook computers that I'm familiar with have their antenna located in
and around the LCD display so that when the lid is up on the machine its
reception is best.

Regards.
