[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1218318, member: 24098"] The ASUS card has its own software for managing connections. It's a little clunky - you can tell it might have been ported from Linux. Other than that, it works great. My company ordered a truckload of these adapters and we didn't even use 1/3 of them. So, I took one home to test it out on my deck (which had always been a problem area for my last MBP). It worked great, no trouble getting on or staying on the wireless. I can only imagine it's because the normal antennas are internal, behind the aluminum enclosure, whereas this one is in a plastic case and external to the machine. Anyway it will definitely do the job and it's not intrusive whatsoever. Personally, I would try to splice a bit of wire in there to fix the issue - but not sure how comfortable you are with it.
