- PCMCIA Card
- Posted by Ono Notim on January 24th, 2006
Hi all
Does anybody know of a laptop PC Card which has the facility of connecting
an external antenna, please?
I want to use the laptop in a building which has marginal signal to none,
but I can get a connection if I put the lappie in the window. Maybe I could
connect up an external antenna and use the laptop on a desk in the building
if I can just run an external antenna?
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
O. N.

Orinoco Gold card, maybe also the Silver, also badged as a Dell
Truemobile card - I got one off Ebay. Else Airlancer-MC11 is another.

Hi Guys
That's superb .....
excellent help and just what I have learnt to expect from you all (well most
(;<D) ).
Also done some research this end and I can get some +5dB [not sue if it's
dBi or dBd] for the router - yet another option!
Cheers Phil, Peter & Ian

Had the same problem.
Discovered that an USB adapter was cheaper and simpler then getting an
aerial for PCMCIA card.
I now use D-Link GWL 122 adapter, which sits in a cradle at the end of 1.2m
cable (can be up to 5m),
backed up with V shaped silver foil covered card. Works great.
Without the cradle it's small enough to carry with laptop.
Regards,
Martin
