BTW, any opinions on the Buffalo AirStation laptop wifi card
(WLI-CB-G54HP)? I need to buy a wifi card that accepts an antenna.

Ben.


Ben,
Take a look at
http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/networking/long-range-notebook-wifi-kit.php
and see what you think. They're not the only one selling the Senao card, nor
the cheapest - just one that I could find without having to Google. From the
reviews I've seen, -if- the limitations of 802.11b etc. are of no concern,
and you're looking for max range with external antenna, this is pretty much
the one to get.
