as far as internal antennas go, you'll have to remove it, and re mount it on the outside.
stealing internet is actually eaiser than it seems. you have to use a wireless bridge. setup dd-wrt thusly and your done.
dan, if you want, you can stuff that dongle inside a pringles can. cut the bottom out so the usb dongle has the usb plug sticking out the bottom. then run a wire to it. like a usb extension wire. point it at the neighbors house, and your good to go. i did this in greece last time i was there.
believe it or not, i got 0% quality and 0% strength and still got access to the internet.

I rocked a bridged dd-wrt linksys wrt54g router for months getting free web til everyone locked their connections. I could buy the hardware that allows me to listen in on packets so I can use the WEP cracking software, but I'm too lazy/cheap for that.
I plan on just getting a pringles can and searching around the apartment complex for a new connection.
