usb or pcmcia wireless with antenna connector

Hi,

I'm looking for a wireless card for my laptop that must be able to connect a
antenna to it.

Does any one know of one??

Buffalo has several, this is what I'd get:

I have the older, non-MIMO high power card, and it's excellent. Don't
get the regular, normal power card.

Only one? Sure:

There are other variations on the same model at:

The antenna connector is an "MC Card" type, which is the same as
Orinoco.

The normal power card works fine. There's no need for higher power at
one end of the connection. That's like shouting across a distance when
the person at the other end is speaking back at a normal level.

But is it compatible with linux?

What is it chipset?
I didn't find anything about chipset!

Thanks

Is the other person always speaking at a normal level? Do public access
points always transmit at 30 mw, like the typical WiFi adapter?

When we sit on the beach in Mexico, I connect to an access point 2.2
miles away using a 200 mw HWU54D or HWU8DD adapter. Do you suppose the
access point is transmitting at 30 mw?

I honestly don't know.

When you hold things back in your question (Linux), you tend to get not
such good answers.

In general, public access points are balanced on transmit and receive to
work with typical Wi-Fi clients. So a higher power client card might be
able to transmit to an access point farther away, but not able to
receive it.
