Default pcmcia, 802.11.a AND external antenna jacks

Oh dear oh dear.. I'm looking around for one (or more) of a pcmcia card which does 802.11.a (and maybe .b and .g) which, just to make things that extra bit more difficult, comes with external antenna jacks.

The better end of a google search doesnt really turn up much.. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas?

In the meantime I would consider modifying a card if need be.. so suggestions on the better .a cards would be appreciated

Cheers all

wookie - what model and how much?

coolmhz - cheers dude, will look at that

From what I can tell a lot of .a cards dont come with external connectors because of FCC regulations, however I'm wondering if any manufacturer had been naughty...

The 802.11a proxim card I bought had a connector under the black bubble that houses the antenna, like the one that was on the USB thingie that someone modified on here some time ago.

Just compared it to the wifi antennas I have here to fit in my laptop, and it seems to be a reverse polarity connector, in that both the wifi antenna, and the pcmcia card are female. I dont think I will have any luck looking for reverse polarity minipci connectors
