Ok so... I got this Linksys WUSB11, and already broke the antenna (at least the plastic casing).

And having two omni devices is kinda useless anyway.

So I took the thing apart and I got a very small cirucit board + a small antenna (looks to be 1/2 wave)

Therefore I want to build this entirely within a pringles can.

I am going to use the general template for the standard pringles can antennas. So I will have a few yagi elements to direct the signal.

I am trying to figure out how far away I will put the linksys antenna, and if I will put is perpindicular or parallel to the yagi element.

I could move the PCB outside the can but I don't see any problem putting it inside?
