PCMCIA card that uses a coax or dual-input connection to an external
antenna. They are more expensive, but are more versatile and allow the use
of custom/shielded antennas that can be purchased or tailor made for your
environment.

A good illustration is an Orinoco Gold Card with the Orinoco PCI adapter and
a pigtail to connect an external hi-band antenna.

You should also read the information

accordingly, unless you want to share your Internet connection with the
world.

I've used the Netgear USB adapters in my home. At =
first, I was attaching it directly to the built in USB ports provided =
on the PC, but ran into issues when I tried to use my USB scanner. =
Installing a separate PCI/USB adapter and using it for the Wireless =
adapter took care of my problem, but YMMV.

From experimentation and research, I suggest a PCI =
adapter for a wireless PCMCIA card that uses a coax or dual-input =
connection to an external antenna. They are more expensive, but are =
more versatile and allow the use of custom/shielded antennas that can =
be purchased or tailor made for your environment.
