May I recommend:

http://store.yahoo.com/sohowaredirect/ncp130.html

Cards are Prism-II based, albeit w/ older firmware. Upgrades easily
found on the net (NetGear has a firmware/flash set that works with this
card) allow it to work in HostAP mode.

PCI based, external antenna w/ 6-foot cable. Nice for mounting the card
in a rack-mount server, and then remoting the antenna to the top of the
rack.

Recently discounted to $25 (US).
