Hello,
That is a very good question.
I called Proxim's technical support department and asked them if this
model had an external connector for an antenna. It does not.
According to the technician I spoke with, there are some issues with
802.11a's frequency and broadcast power which preclude adding an external
antenna connector.
He also speculated that if Proxim were to release an 802.11b/g card (e.g.,
no 802.11a support) that it could conceivably have an external antenna
connector. All hypothetically-speaking, of course.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
