on his newer 360 laptops Ben mods the wifi adapter's antenna to make it internal.

how do you do this? is it just a matter of putting a really long wire around the inside? what are some of the principles that one needs to be aware of when making their own? (e.g. wire gauge, length, stripped or not, interference, etc.)
