Worth mentioning I'm on a similar journey in trying to determine if a
new usb outdoor antenna will work under linux. Would make wireless lan
connections even easier as there's hardly any signal loss over the
equivalent 20 ft of cable. It's ip addressable, works at up to 5 miles
of range and is cheaper than the current PCMCIA nic/adapter/external
antenna. Check out YDI.com for these if you're interested.
