usb or pcmcia wireless with antenna connector open original image

Hi,



I'm looking for a wireless card for my laptop that must be able to connect a antenna to it.



Does any one know of one??


Buffalo has several, this is what I'd get:

" I have the older, non-MIMO high power card, and it's excellent. Don't get the regular, normal power card.

antenna connector is an "MC Card" type, which is the same as Orinoco.

looks good in writing, but they do not post to the uk :(

if you are in the uk

Buffalo. Highly recommended.

The normal power card works fine. There's no need for higher power at one end of the connection. That's like shouting across a distance when the person at the other end is speaking back at a normal level.

But is it compatible with linux?

What is it chipset? I didn't find anything about chipset!

Thanks

Is the other person always speaking at a normal level? Do public access points always transmit at 30 mw, like the typical WiFi adapter?

When we sit on the beach in Mexico, I connect to an access point 2.2 miles away using a 200 mw HWU54D or HWU8DD adapter. Do you suppose the access point is transmitting at 30 mw?

I honestly don't know.

I don't know.

When you hold things back in your question (Linux), you tend to get not such good answers. ;)

In general, public access points are balanced on transmit and receive to work with typical Wi-Fi clients. So a higher power client card might be able to transmit to an access point farther away, but not able to receive it.

I see. So that's why my Hawking adapters work so well with distant access points. They have good directional antennas for receiving and high transmit power for talking back.

transmitting.

The antenna helps both send and receive. Probably no real need for higher power.
