Question Another typical newbie question.......
I am going to buy some gear. I understand that I know less than zero about this. How does this package sound?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

I come here seeking knowledge, and I am willing to do business with any "approved" vendors. Just want the informed opinion.
Thanks from the Sunshine State

The card is great, but the antenna doth suck the Big One. If you get 2dB out of it at the card, consider yourself lucky. Deal with FAB-Corp. www.fab-corp.com . Get that card and the $60 5dB antenna. That's the proven combination.

Aside:
You have to love the hype: "**Top Rated Wardriving Wireless-Antenna Kit**" Uh, 'top rated' by who exactly? Nine out of ten newbies who don't know any better?

Thumbs up Thanks!
Thanks for the help, I attempt to avoid "The Big One" at all costs. Your comments on how some merchants hype their product are right on target. I am still seeking knowledge, but headed in the right direction. Thanks Aquaman
