Default PCI wireless card: Making Antenna

Hi. I'm putting together a modest machine for my mother and I found a Wireless-G PCI card sitting in my garage to use, but it doesn't have the antenna anywhere. anyone know a good way / what materials to use to make an antenna for the card? She doesn't like wires and wouldn't want an aluminum or pringles can behind her pc, looking to attach something right to the card.

This is just me, but... i would try to get an old antenna off of maybe a RC car or something, and try to see if it fits, if not, i would just solder the sucker on there.
