I've read that they're hard to find because most 802.11a cards use a mix of 2 frequency bands to give more non-overlapping channels, but the FCC doesn't allow one of those bands to be used for external use so no equipment transmitting over that spectrum can have external antenna connectors. I'm in Europe where this doesn't apply, but I still can't find any card with an external antenna connector :o/ If one was found that was known to work under freebsd that would be a big bonus :o) TIA, Aidan
