I want to know what the best wireless PCMCIA card for my laptop would be. I knwo this has been asked before, and the reason I am asking again is becauase I have a new requirement:
It HAS to have an external antenna port for an antenna on my truck when I war drive.

Hey whenever it arrives, let me know how well it works for you. It's the Prisim II chipset isn't it?

Does anyone else have any suggestions? I've been reading about some problems with D-link cards... apparently, they recently switched chipsets, so there are 2 versions of the card out there under the same model: the prisim-based one, and the off-brand based one...
So I want to get a good card, but it's got to have an external antenna port...
