I think I have a cheap source for for the tiny coax connectors that the lucent cards use. Find an old "bag phone" cell phone, I had an old Uniden which I opened up and found three separate boards connected by tiny coax. I think these should fit, but don't have a lucent card to check with yet. Please post an update to this if you find they fit. you can find these old "bag phones" for free in some places or try Goodwill. Update-I got a couple Lucent cards and it is a different connector.

"School boy wiring" version ! I'm almost ashamed to show this, but it might save someone elses bacon too. Had lent my usual pigtail only to have it returned damaged = ARGH. This is the reason you should never lend your belongings to anyone!!!! Somewhat in desperation, since an external antenna was needed, I rustled up this DIY quickee that actually worked OK for a link demo = PHEW. Check pix =>
