Being the genius that I am, I purchased a Dell 1505 mini-pcie wireless card from eBay and thought I got a great deal. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a pcie-1 adapter so I cannot install in my motherboard...additionally, it did not come with an antenna.

Is there any place I can get just the adapter without paying a ridiculous price? Also, would there be any reception without the antenna?

Thanks
 
Unless you're willing to make another trip to eBay, I doubt that you'll be able to find a "cheap" adapter.

Because of the Dell 1505's compact design, yes, you need those antenna connections. But I don't believe that they make antenna adapters of that size.
 
Thanks...I guess I'll just try to sell it to someone who can put it in a laptop. I'm surprised that there aren't more PCIE x1 wireless adapters besides one from D-Link on Newegg.
 
Yes...I didn't read all the specs. Dell normally sells it with an adapter and antenna, but I bought the oem version off of eBay so it's not compatible...I am trying to sell it to someone who can use it with a notebook computer,

I checked with Dell, and they don't sell just the antenna and x1 adapter.
