Antenna for Orinoco PCMCIA card?

[lizardboy]

I have an Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card in my laptop with the connector for an external antenna. Just wanted to see if anyone could recommend an antenna that would improve my 802.11b reception.

Thanks

In general you should not expect "big: miracle.

If you are at the ?edge?. I.e. getting unstable reception at a certain distance. External Antenna will stabilize it.

If you have bad reception envioroment it might improve the connection.

However do not expect an improvement like from (as example) that a 100' connection would yield 200? with the Antenna...

It's in a classroom where I seem to be right on the edge, sometimes I can barely connect at 1 Mb/s, sometimes not at all. I'm not looking for blazing speeds, just a reliable connection.
