802.11B PC Card with retractable or removable antenna

I am looking for an 802.11B PC Card with retractable or removable antenna so I don't have to take the card out of the notebook when I travel with it. Any suggestions?

Yep, I've got one. It works fine :-)

A friend of mine has a Trendware card - I'm not sure of the model - but that has a fixed antenna that only sticks out a little bit - maybe 1/2", if that. It seems to work OK too.

I have left my Orinoco plugged in to the side of my Dell for over a year. I carry it in a laptop bag in the car, on airplanes, etc. No problems with it.

I think it's the 3Com X-Jack antenna; there should be

2 versions of it: one that enables powersaving when the antenna is retracted (more expensive) and another one working "always-on" (cheaper)
