Luke you don't need to attach an antenna to your Orinoco card as they have a
built in one.  Generally the Orinoco's are one of the best cards around so
you should get some reasonable performance out of it.

If you find you are trying to link too far or through too many object then
you can buy an antenna adapter for the Orinoco for around $30 and then make
yourself a Cantenna for around $10 which should be more than enough.
