    Pringles Potato chips tubes will work as well. That way you can have
    a snack while you do some driveby dialing.

    I have a buddy of mine in the UK who uses rogue AP's to access the net for
    free. He uses this thing he calls a "cantenna" (essentially he cracks open
    the card and wires it to a metal milk carton) to boost the signal and range
    so that he can hit any of a number of APs in the area. Swears by it as the
    "only way to access the net"...
