Mesa, AZ | "Linksys pcmcia card"
From what I have read in other posts, pcmcia cards are well known for very short range. May want to experiment with a USB instead of pcmcia. | |

I can get a usable signal at 900 feet away from my own D-Link 900-AP access point using a Linksys PC Card, provided I have an unobstructed line of site to the WAP. With a Pocket PC (Symbol), I was able to go even further away with obstructions. The only major impediments for me appeared to be live trees and bushes and metal studs in walls.

We opened up an Intermec Wireless Access Point at work... and found exactly the same thing, a PC Card Wireless Card.
