Question Xircom CWE1120 Antenna Question
I recently picked up a Xircom CWE1120 WiFi card on ebay...
I'm planning to eventually get an AP for the house so I can
sit in my patio with my laptop and surf thru my cable modem..
Until then I thought I'd try some lo-level "stumbling" around
Las Vegas.. However, I now realize that apparently some WiFi
cards have an external antenna connection, and apparently
the Xircom I have does not.. :-< Being a ham radio op, I'm pretty
up on RF up to about 450mhz.. Beyond that, it's FM (flippin' magic) and I'm pretty clueless.. Since we're talking 2.4ghz here, how do passive antennas or coupled antennas work at 802.11b freqs? And if they're half-way decent, are there any links to building one? Having built many HF/VHF/UHF antennas, I think I can follow the theory.. TIA Dave in Las Vegas...

CWE1120 == rebranded Cisco 340

It looks like you may find success in this link, where it has been addressed earlier.
