Best option is a couple cards with antenna jacks, the compaq wl200 or sohoware
cards both come with jacks and are supported in Linux, alot of other cards
you'll have to hack on ext ants. You can pick some compaqs wl200 up of ebay
fairly cheap and then chuck them in your linux AP and hook it up a grid antenna.<br>
