Hi

For anyone interested, someone on the Shropshire LUG list mentioned about 
these :-

http://www.solwise.co.uk/wireless-el-2511cd2ext2m.htm £22.99

EEE 802.11b+ 11Mbps PCMCIA Card (Prism 3 Chipset) 2 MMCX antenna sockets 

The best thing is that they have EXTERNAL antenna connectors if you are into 
connecting external antennas for more gain. The std cards usually have 
reverse connectors instead which means lots of faffing around with odd 
adaptors .

But these - they're easy.

They're also PRISM3 based so theoretically should work with all Linux distro's 
(distributions)
