Have you personally tried this?  Seems like I will have to milk a few snakes
to make it work?  I see no way of using a USB port as an antenna - just not
even remotely the sale.

Best thing to do is get an external PCMCIA card like the D-Link DFE-690TXD
and then make an external antenna port on it.

This high gain antenna allows you to obtain wi-fi signals at a
greater distance than any card built into your laptop.    Externally
mounted, the vendor claims up to 1 mile range.  It's powered via your
USB port.

Works with Mac's or PC's, Great for stealth camping.

I have no relation to this company, just thought it would be a useful
Westy upgrade for those of you that travel with laptops.

If anyone has bought one, please share your experiences...
