We have been using the Cisco Aironet a/b/g Cardbus Adapter (p/n AIR-CB21AG-A-K9) on our laptop running the AirMagnet suite for almost a year. The data is solid, consistent, and provides a realistic representation of the performance an end user would experience.

I've been evaluating the AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer with an Orinoco (Proxim) Gold A/B/G card, but I notice the Orinoco reports weaker signals than the Broadcoms we use campus-wide (in Gateway 405 laptops). The Orinioco is a PC Card, while the Broadcom is mini-PCI, so I suppose there's a difference in the antenna.
 
Obviously, we want our analyzer to give an accurate representation of what our normal wireless clients see, especially for site surveys.
 
Can anyone recommend a wireless A/B/G PC Card for use with AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer (and AirMagnet surveyor)?
 
Any suggestions are appreciated!
