Looks like this might do what you need: http://www.ubnt.com/products/sr71usb.php. The only issue is that it uses a 9160 part which has known bugs and the driver doesn't (apparently) know how to workaround them. Otherwise I've never heard usb and external antenna mentioned in the same sentence. Samhome | help
