from fab corp:

Agere / Lucent ORiNOCO Wireless PC Silver Card 77.59 1 77.59
60 inch ORiNOCO/Avaya to N-Male Pigtail 23.00 1 23.00

now for the antenna...
5 dBi Magnetic Mount Omni Antenna 69.95 1 69.95
-or-
9 dBi Omni Directional Antenna 85.00 1 85.00

and from deluo.com..
GPS for PC/Laptop (USB) - $99

i'm very new to stumbling/wardriving...i really like the idea of the smaller antenna and being able to mount it with a magnet and stuff...but how much of a performance increase will i be seeing with the 9dBi larger antenna?

is that the right pigtail adapter?

i'll most likely also be buying a dell lattitude c600 -> p3 750, 256mb, 6gb, 14", etc for $500.

how good to you think this setup will perform for being < $800?

what do you guys think?
