Some hotels have weak wifi radios; about 60% is the strongest signal wicd shows in my room. Is there an antenna or USB-based booster that works on a linux-running laptop to strengthen that signal?
Other places (e.g., pricey hotels and convention centers) have no free wifi access; some will charge $$$ per day for access as a 'guest.' Is there an external unit that will allow my Slackware running laptop to access the 'Net via my account with Verizon Wireless? I was told by an exhibitor at the trade show such beasts are available from Verizon but I find nothing about this on their Web site. I'd rather buy than rent from Verizon if possible.
