Subject says it all.
If anyone sees one, can y'all drop me a line?

This is the closest I've seen:

Pair it with one of these:

This is expensive though and I'm sure you can find cheaper vendors but I was in their Boulder store Sunday night looking at cases and saw the game adapter. Your request reminded me of it.

I've noticed that USB 802.11 adaptors work A LOT better for desktop PCs.

I have two desktop machines I had planned to connect via 802.11A to my wired network, but I can't get decent signal strength (that's "2 bars" and frequent drops for both) for BOTH of them in anyplace I can put my AP.

I'm hoping that moving to USB adaptors will clear up the problem.

newegg has some USB2 -> 100baseTX Ethernet adapters... pair them with a wired -> Wireless bridge and you have yourself one very expensive USB2.0 wireless setup.

See, that's what I'm trying to avoid.

i know. But you're going to have to wait... a google search yeilded information that USB2.0 adapters for 802.11a/g are in the works... but if newegg doesn't have em they're likely not out yet.

I wouldn't doubt if they start to trickle into the market in a few months.

Just wondering if you tried a PCI adaptor with a remote/detatable/removable ant.? To move the ant. away from the interference.

Doesn't appear to help. For a business, I'd probably just buy an extra AP or something, but I'm thinking I'll save money if I buy a USB adaptor instead.

I pretty much only deal with Linksys at this point. All antennas are removable.
