[olug] wireless cards - anything but Orinoco

[neal rauhauser]

    You can use Orinoco but if you want an external antenna they have 
this flimsy connector which you can look at hard twice before it 
disintegrates. You're also limited to 30mw.

    http://demarctech.com has +21 - +23dBm Prism 2.5 chipset cards with 
MCX connectors for $160 or so last time I looked. These are 125 - 200mw 
cards and they have the same tough connector found on Aironet cards. 
I've drug one Aironet pigtail all over the country for the last eighteen 
months and it still works fine ... can't say the same for the Lucent 
stuff, which lasts maybe two weeks if you're very gentle with it.
