It's possible
to assemble the antenna with the feed rotated 90 degrees. The antenna
will function, but not very well.

are you saying the antenna will not function well if the feed is aligned wrong, or do you
mean this antenna will not fucntion well period?

A problem I've seen with PCI wi-fi cards is the RP-SMA connector just
falls apart, usually from excessive pressure by an oversized antenna,
connector, or pigtail. Give it a careful inspection. It's fairly
easy to reassemble.

yes I'm currently using a long pigtail type thing made of TV coax as a temporary measure
while I get used to this antenna. I'm sure an LM400 cable with adaptor would just rip the
sma socket connection right off the card ha ha.
