For 15 bucks it's worth a try. I am using WAP at home so that's why I asked. Most times I'd be using this I'd be connecting to open APs so it's not a big deal. So they don't make this card any more? What replaced it? <div>On 6/25/07, Mitch <<a href="mailto:mitch@kci.net">mitch@kci.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div link="blue" vlink="blue" lang="EN-US"> <div> If you are super concerned with WPA or what-not then the card is not for you. I find that most people still shy away from it. In fact it used to kill performance on a lot of the crappy Linksys/Netgear routers out there.   But that was in fact not the card I was referring to; It is however a good card if you don't want the external antenna options.   This is what I would recommend:   <a href="http://shop.electro-comm.com/ac/Product.aspx?Id=22361&view=12" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://shop.electro-comm.com/ac/Product.aspx?Id=22361&view=12</a> - Velcro antenna for your laptop cover <a href="http://shop.electro-comm.com/ac/Product.aspx?Id=22018&view=8" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://shop.electro-comm.com/ac/Product.aspx?Id=22018&view=8</a> – Magnetic antenna for the roof of your vehicle <a href="http://i.expansys.com/i/l/l102444.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://i.expansys.com/i/l/l102444.jpg</a> - That's what the card actually looks like (discontinued for some new model) Cisco 350 Series PCMCIA Card (has primary and secondary ports for antennas)…   J I have the card. Probably can gnab it off me for … $15? These bad-boys used to retail for a pretty penny.

Also, they don't have any. How cheap is the one you have? Is the antenna required or will it work without one and better with one? Thanks.

It's a flat antenna that can Velcro to the lid of your laptop. Its an omni-directional antenna and works pretty good.   I might possibly have a 350 Card you can grab for cheap; but the blade antenna may be harder to find.

I want something that has a much better range than the internal card (like something for wardriving but that's not what I plan to do). A pcmcia card would be good but I'd like to be able to use an unattached antenna - maybe something that would clip on the laptop lid and I can rotate it to get the best signal. Does such a thing exist? I've looked through newegg, tigerdirect and best buy without luck. Thanks. PS Leon, what was the site you suggested?
