recommendation for bulletproof 802.11b/g USB, with external antenna, for FreeBSD

[George Sanders]

Hello,

If you want a USB 802.11b/g with an external antenna, the knee jerk answer is always the alfa AWUS036H 500mw.  The problem is, the RTL8187L driver has only just been added to 8.0-CURRENT and this is for a production system, etc.

This isn't a project that I can be on the bleeding edge with.

So, I just want a rock solid _absolutely known to work with 6.x and 7.x_ USB wifi adaptor that can accept an external antenna.  802.11b/g, and the more powerful the better.

Thanks.

Looks like this might do what you need:
http://www.ubnt.com/products/sr71usb.php.  The only issue is that it
uses a 9160 part which has known bugs and the driver doesn't
(apparently) know how to workaround them.  Otherwise I've never heard
usb and external antenna mentioned in the same sentence.
