So I'd like to find a good USB card for it. Will go $100 but want external antenna
port. Also, Prism or Hermes chipset support would be best.

Can anyone recommend a solution for this problem? The only way I know of to
boost gain is to couple an inductive cantenna to it and I have constructed one but
was unable to match it. Atheros won't tell me where the antenna is located, or
even the card, and I don't want to take this puppy apart just yet ....

thanks
First off, you posted your question in the wrong forum subsection. Second, you obviously did not use the search function of the forum or the search functions that Google has on their site.

Please read all sections in the Welcome Desk, Rethink your post, then try again. Thank you and have a nice day.
