There are several different antenna connectors.  Check out

http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/Prism2Card

Of the three types of cards I've used, the D-Link DWL-650 antenna is
fixed ($40), the Orinoco Silver is removable (about $65), and the Proxim
RangeLAN-DS 8434 is removable (about $40-$60).  The last card is winging
its way to Warner because I haven't managed to get it to work on
FreeBSD.  Nice card otherwise, though. 8-)
