Right now, I'm using an Avaya card (new Lucent/Orinoco/Wavelan clone) with the 1.5 meter pigtail out of it terminating in an N female end. The 7.5 dBi antenna from Hyperlink has a built in N male termination. Like a 18" screw-on aluminum stick, so it just screws onto the cable. I've been wedging it between car seats when I'm driving, or putting it in a water-bottle pocket in my backpack when I pedal.

I actually found a place in Plano, TX that sells a mag mount base for N connector antennae to screw onto. It's made by Diamond Antenna; DPK4NM-M and costs ~ $45. Cushcraft makes one too; Cushcraft CS-MGN.

I ordered the base from Plano, and should see it early next week.
