As far as I can tell from the pictures, [see http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/over= view.htm] these cards have the following connectors: - PCIe & USB on the bottom - 3 coaxial antenna connectors on the other side - two power connections I'm assuming you are talking about the antenna connectors... AFAICT from the product brief, it supports either two or three antennas, so that shouldn't = be a problem. Is the card getting power?
