More than likely you just need a pcie card. They have antennas on them that are much more powerful than the tiny little antennas that are built into the USB dongles. I've got a dongle that won't pick on the access point at the other end of my house even though my laptop and a computer with a PCIe card pick them up fine.

I was speaking with my father about this and he said that I probably need to update my drivers. Being on Linux means my drivers are updated everytimeI update the computer I think. He then said that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and the same thing goes for the cards. So I need to ask what cards have people had success with?

            Do you think the problem could be the dongle? Would
            getting a wireless card resolve the problem?
