Help! Can't find third antenna in z61t for intel 4965 abgn

Has anyone upgraded the wifi module in the z60/61 to draft-n? I recently took a peek in a x60 and a x60t, and they both had the third antenna tucked away although they were using regular two antenna abg wifi cards. I assumed that my antenna would be tucked away too so I ordered the new intel 4965 draft-n card. To my dismay I noticed last night that I don't have the third antenna or it is tucked away somewhere I didn't see. Am I blind and it's there somewhere? If not does anyone know where to get the third antenna wire and how to snake it around inside the notebook?

Thanks

My T60 didn't have a 3rd antenna.

It's been discussed at Thinkpad.com that if a system has 802.11N & WWAN, the N card will only have 2 antenna connections.

When I upgraded my T60 from 3945ABG to the 802.11ABGN card, I just routed another antenna underneath the keyboard.

Thanks for the response. What antenna did you use and where did you get it from?

pulled it from another laptop ; you can find new ones online pretty easily.
