Wireless Ethernet (client) bridge with external antenna capability
cabled to wireless access point with different SSID and channel; e.g.,
Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP (with WLE-DA2 antenna) and WHR-G54S.

Depending on signal:
* Buffalo WLE-AT-DACW might be a viable alternative to WLE-DA2.
* Buffalo WLE-HG-DYG would provide more range than WLE-DA2.

Search Google Groups for "Signal Seeker" or "Ed Williams".

I never could get much in the way of specs out of Ed. However, he did
once leak an FCC ID of the device as FCC ID:NHPWLB1500. See below for
what details I could extract.

That was about 18 months ago, so things may have changed.
Re: Desktop Card/Antenna to catch neighborhood wireless?
Given this scenario, say we had made arrangements to share his connection
while he was gone to work or whatever. Would this bridge/repeater or
Ethernet converter allow me to capture his wireless connection and then add
it to my hardwired network running along side of my DSL. In other words, can
I feed both connections through my router to my networked computers?

His? This thread is about open neighborhood wireless, not stealing
service from a neighbor.

Both won't work at the same time without special hardware.

Re: Desktop Card/Antenna to catch neighborhood wireless?
Stealing! In our situation, 3 of us in a sort of triangle all have wireless
setups. Say we all wanted to bridge our connections and then buy a lower
speed plan and then share the cost. It could cost us all a few dollars per
month and the unused bandwidth would route to the house that needs it at the
time. The one neighbor for example is got sold a much faster connection that
he needs for e-mail and surfing. Say I wanted to give him oh, $5 per month
to use part of his bandwidth during the day when he's at work. It would
still be lees for me than an upgrade to my DSL, lower his cost and
everything work out for the best. My question is not an ethical one but a
technical one. What kind of "special" hardware are you referring to?

Load balancing over multiple connections is relatively easy (assuming
high enough wireless link speed to handle all the traffic); bonding of
multiple connections isn't. Google PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
MultiLink/RFC 1990. With load-balancing, only certain applications with
multiple connections will show an increase in throughput over a single
link; e.g., FTP download accelerators, peer-to-peer filesharing.
