Andy, 

I believe the technical term is ... "Ouchiwawa"?  Making toast of
wireless bridges is not my idea of a good end to a day.  :(

I've been following your adventures; thanks for the update (such as it
is).  

I guess Yagis are a safer answer, if the card has a way to plug in an
external antenna.  My friend's 3Com wireless has an integrated
antenna, and I don't think there's any way to hook it up to anything
external, Pringles can or otherwise.  Also there's the question of
whether his 14 year old daughter would consider a homemade yagi
antenna a positive aesthetic contribution to her room....
