The orinoco cards are pretty tight.  I gave their Proxim b/g combo card 
a test run the first weekend I had my new laptop.  The b/g cards may not 
work well in linux but the straight up b cards should.  Also the card I 
used did have an external antenna jack that we hooked up an omni that 
attached to the roof of my car.  Worked really well for wardriving in 
MSP.  Check out:

for their product line.
