I'm afraid that the little itty-bitty cable on that antenna wipes out
most
of the gain of the antenna. I have one, and there has only been one
occasion where I was able to see a WAP with it that I couldn't see
without
it, and I couldn't connect on that occasion. Using Netstumbler, there
is
no observable difference when the antenna is connected to my Orinoco
card.

That problem wouldn't exist with the duck that attaches directly to the
WAP/Client/whatever.
