sporadic connectivity

[Brian Cluff]

More than likely you just need a pcie card.  They have antennas on them 
that are much more powerful than the tiny little antennas that are built 
into the USB dongles. I've got a dongle that won't pick on the access 
point at the other end of my house even though my laptop and a computer 
with a PCIe card pick them up fine.
