There are also mini-pci cards that one could install into their Dell latptop. Pricetags are > $100, so pony up , or watch E-Bay.

A testimonial of the Ubiquity card I've formatted it a little:

"I've tried 4 different wireless cards on Back|Track2 with varying levels of success.

[...]

UbiQuiti SRC Range Max

Without a doubt the best card available IMHO.

• A massive 300mW power
• comes with 2 x MMCX connectors and now shipping standard with a 5dB aerial
• Can support OMNI and Directional at the same time
• Uses the madwifi driver, supports packet injection
• Support for ABG networks; Great sensitivity

Only draw back is the price, ... If you don't mind the money, then this is the only choice."

Here is a site listing cards and drivers that are known to work with BT2 (Backtrack 2). This list includes the following entry for the Ubiquity:
