The Lucent version is the best in reception. The cheaper Linksys brand sometimes has trouble with reception.

Generally speaking, PCMIA wireless adapters require external antennas. New laptops have them built in, so no external antenna necessary.

What's the difference in it and the $20 cheaper version on the same page

Is the external antenna extra with most cards? Is it necessary? Desirable?

Thanks again for the info!</font>
