I am using my FreeBSD box as my main ingress to my RV trailer. We move around and sometimes use Ethernet, sometimes PPP directly on DSL and sometimes we connect to a local wifi hotspot. To get the best connection I have mounted an external, multi-band antenna on the trailer and connect it to one of the antenna connections on the wifi card. My question is, can I split the antenna connection and use both antenna connectors on the wifi card (or three if I have that kind of card) or will that mess up the connection. I know that each connection is for a different band. Different camp grounds use different bands and sometimes I need to switch the antenna to get a better Internet connection. It would be nice if I could just have both of then connected to the external antenna. Cheers. -- D'Arcy J.M.
