Another feature of some cards that I haven't found a clear picture
of:

Some cards have an antenna built right onto the card, and others
seem to come with a remote antenna that hangs off of a six-foot (or
so) cable.

The vendors' arguments for the cable arrangment is that it allows
for a more optimal placement of the antenna, but other lore suggests
that the cable itself introduces loss of signal.

Does anyone have a concrete opinion on this, or can point me in the
right direction for some research?
