Mike, Now if only there were more wireless PC cards with external antenna connectors. I've read that firms currently prefer to avoid adding external antenna connectors to wireless PC cards, because the Wi-Fi Alliance certification process of cards so-equipped is more complicated than that of those not-so. This would be a reason that the Proxim-redesigned Orinoco cards no longer possess them.
Here's a wireless PC card from SMC possessing an external MMCX connector that could be found in a local retail store. Has anyone seen the SMC2532WB? Or better yet, have one? http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/Reviews-46-ProdID-SMC2532WB.php Finally, does anyone know of any other manufacturer routinely stocked in retail stores still making wireless PC card with an external connector? Though they are definitely manufacturers of Wireless PC cards with external antenna connectors, Senao, Demarc, and EnGenius are not the kind of manufacturers that I've ever seen at Fry's, Best Buy, or Radio Shack.

Thanks, Mike. I was looking for one of those at Fry's today. I should have known better. Next time I'll start with the shack. -- Dave Close, Compata, Costa Mesa CA "I think there is a world market [EMAIL PROTECTED], +1 714 434 7359 for about five computers."
