G cards was RE: wireless laptop card advice

My main problem with 802.11g is there are no good high-power PCMCIA cards
with an aerial socket.

Anyone can prove me wrong?  Most of the miniPCI cards have an aerial socket.

For a cheap high power (longer range) 802.11b card I'd recommend the SMC 
SMC2532W-B it's a 200mw card with external antenna connectors based on the 
Prism chipset, similar to the popular Senao cards.

Nope, I can't prove you wrong. I've been searching for a good high power g 
card too.

Senao do some 200mW g cards[1] but none of them have external aerial 
connectors and I haven't seen any available in NZ.

My dream card at the moment would be a 200mW g card with a built in antenna 
and external connector(s) much like the SMC b card I have now except g

There exist 400 mW mini PCI cards - maybe a good time to get a laptop
upgrade. 

Acer sempron (god that’s a dodgy name) for $1099 with a $100 rebate.
Sub-$1k notebook.
