[Netstumbler] card question.

["Daniel Smith" <websounding@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

I'm looking at purchasing a wifi card for my laptop. I would like to get one 
that is capable of using an external antenna, and is capable of possibly 
using future technologies. I saw in the netstumbler readme that an orinoco 
is compatible, yet today when i was looking at them the newer gold combo 
cards had no antenna connection, and an "older" orinico 802.11 card had an 
antenna connection, but only had 64 bit encryption. could someone help, 
please? I am looking for a good card that works and will work in future. 
Would having 128 bit security really matter? Are there other cards that 
would be better overall and fit all bills? Another issue would be that I am 
using a compaq evo n410c laptop, whose multiport 802.11 card does not work. 
Any way to modify or adjust to use that?

Thanks so much

Daniel
