The following reference comes from Lockergnome's Penguin Shell newsletter:

802.11b Antenna Shootout

While not strictly a Linux link, today's GnomeCLICK is clearly indicative of
the spirit of Linux - the constant and ongoing effort to make the technology
around us work better. Better, even if the improvements involve Pringles
cans.

The 802.11b Antenna Shootout stacked a Lucent commercial wireless antenna
against the kind of DIY antennas Linux users can really appreciate; two
designs using Pringles cans, two coffee can designs, a Hunt's pasta sauce
can, and a 40 oz. Nalley "Big Chunk" beef stew can. The results are, well,
truly in the DIY spirit and certainly worth the attention of Lucent.
