Most people on this list know I recently got one of these SMC 200 milliwatt cards. I've been trying to figure if it receives better than an Orinoco silver, both with the standard built in antenna, only.

I recently did about a 45 minute war drive in busy Los Angeles area. The Orinoco stumbled into 66 AP's, the SMC stumbled into 129. Both identical laptops sat in the passenger's seat, internal antennas about 12" apart. This is not a very scientific test, but, as far as I'm concerned, the SMC receives much better than the Orinoco.
