3000 foot wireless card

I was in Las Vegas this week and there was a gentlman there that had a
wireless card and an antena attached to the laptop.

he told me that he was able to do 3000 feet on it.

he told me i could do a search on the internet to buy one.

I have however had little success in finding the card that he has.

Does anyone here know what kind of card it was?

I know it was a PCMCIA card, but it did not stick out of the slot with an
antenna like the normal cards you buy. It had a small connector like the
external antena connector on the oronical cards. but it also had a rubber
antenna about 6 inchs long with a base that hooked to the side of his
laptop.

could somone help me out with this?

thank you.

Translation. He didn't know the name of the card he was using.

My crystal ball crashed after the last firmware upgrade. I'm working
on a warranty replacment. Meanwhile, no remote viewing, crystal
gazing, or precognition. I could use my Ouija Board, but the
character data rate is just too slow to be useful.

Orinoco.

I call such a card an "alligator". That's an animal with a big mouth
and small ears. It transmits much farther than it can hear, and is
therefore not much better than a jammer. If you're going to do
3000ft, you might need a similar high power xmitter at the other end
of the link.
