I couldn't find any technical specs of this wifi card, except some supported bluetooth. Lot of spam hits, I gave up, but I only searched for "FAQ" and not antenna or hacks.

Holy ----, I have that in PCMCIA flavor for my wardriving kit, cost me $65 shipped. If the USB is like the PCMCIA version, you can tweak those to 250mW. You won't need an external antenna to hit your neighbor's with that... I figure your stocker is the generic 30-40mW broadcast power whereas a 200 mW unit will have a couple times the range.

I'm probably going to pick one of those USB units up - I'm a big USB freak, and the PCMCIA flavors only support 802.11b. Sweetness.

What is an express card socket? If it's mini-PCI:

im not sure, at rokland.com i ordered the oronico wardriving pcmcia card with antenna but i canceled the order because i was reading my e1705 doesnt have the right slot, the express card slot looks about the same, but the guy at rokland told me in the back they hook up different, and currently nothing is really out, he said dell does make a wifi card for the express slot but its not really well, i have a intel 3945agb, whats the mw on that? i hope really low so i can buy the usb one and have it work wonders lol, hey jd hit up the guy from that shop on aim his aims rokhelper, its only like 57 shipped or some ---- i duno but that was the link, plus theyve tested all their products hes a real kool guy. in MI too.also that mini pci slot is what i have now, its on the back bottom of the laptop, it just plugs in like the ram does on the dells.

too bad i cant ------ate that because i have no way of connecting it to anything, dell laptops have a antenna in the screen for wifi, i found a few things on my intel card, but nothing that said how much power and range.

Stock wireless cards for laptops are puny, emasculated things. Your stocker pushes zero power - welcome to Centrino, bitch!

I may be mistaken, but the 200mW cards are technically against FCC regulation for consumer use, too much power. They get sold by small vendors without problem, but Linksys had to remove a high power product last year because it was targeted at the consumer.
