Wireless network equipment, per FCC rules does NOT use standard connectors.
The two common "odd ball" connectors used (incorrectly referred to here
as "standard") are RP-TNC and RP-SMA, reverse polarity SMA and reverse
polarity TNC. The genders are kinda off vs the normal version of the
SMA and TNC connectors.
I personally like Hyper Link Technologies for Antennas, both mobile, and
fixed.
If you are doing a point to point link, this one works VERY well, and
it's cheap:

Wardriving:

side back windows, get the suction cups)
AP extenders:

(replacement rubber ducky, with high gain)
http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/hg2408p.php (directional, wall mount)

As always, check your connectors before ordering, and Hyperlink has a
$100 direct order minimum.

I have an external high gain antenna on my Netgear DG834G. Comes with a
standard SMA connector and an adapter that steps up to something bigger (now
sitting in a box somewhere).

Made a huge difference to me. Actually thinking of replacing it with a more
powerful one to increase reception on my SqueezeBox 3 in the livingroom
(currently 41%).
