SO MAKE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Why we choose USB type?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's quiet handy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We can make it to travel&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Easy to use&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not need to open the case to make instalation, just plug and play&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;So many product to choose&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Not too expensive&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;3. Why we choose WUSB54G v.4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's not to small to modify and its uses Ralink2570 chipset, this Card driver Linux compatible. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Because so many USB Card type that not available with Linux driver or not been ready yet .&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remember just only version 4 uses a Ralink Chips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;4. The Driver &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are two drivers available: rt2570 is the stable version&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;while rt2x00 is the development version based on the new devicescape stack. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The driver you can download both at &lt;a href="http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com"&gt;http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The driver both to work, but less problems with the stable one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;5. Monitoring/Kismet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If your are playing with monitoring (kismet, airodump, etc.) or injecting packets (aireplay), you should check out the CVS version of the stable driver or a specially patched one at &lt;a href="http://http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/"&gt;http://http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/&lt;/a&gt;. These can inject packets and show the signal strength.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;6. STEP BY STEP MODIFICATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;WUSB54G ver.4, you can take a look to the bottom of the card version tag maked yellow in the picture. So check the product before you buy the card.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/02_lower_1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/02_lower_1.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. OPEN THE CHASE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;To open the chase, the first you have to open the screw under the rubber pad bellow the antenna ( marked blue ). After that you can carefully open the case.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/02_lower_11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/02_lower_11.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;8. THE CARD OPEN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;After you open the chase you can see all of the parts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a look soldered of the original antenna, this is will be modification, to make eksternal antenna.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/03_open_1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/03_open_1.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;9. DESOLDERED THE ANTENNA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;And then de soldered the original antenna using soldering iron and a de soldering pump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/04_board_up_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/04_board_up_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;10. BE CAREFULL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be carefull not to overhead the board or accidently create a connection between the antenna ground and and the small-SMD-capasitor as above.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/06_no_antenna_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/06_no_antenna_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;11. TAKE A RP-SMA PIGTAIL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a common RP-SMA pigtail or pigtail you want to use, and soldering the cable, the shielding to the ground and the core to the small pad next to shielded chip.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/08_pigtail_close_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/08_pigtail_close_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;12. DRILL THE CHASE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In this case we can't re-use the hole of the original antenna, so we must drill the chase to make a hole. Be carefull when drill the chase.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/09_case_open_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/09_case_open_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;13. COMPLETE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;After finish all, then close the chase. And the modification of the external antenna is done.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/10_case_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/10_case_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;14. ALL DONE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can attach with the antenna that you want.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/11_done_1.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/11_done_1.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;15. OR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maybe if you dont want to drill the chase, you can make the pigtail like this. So you can use the original hole of the antenna.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/1600/7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6058/3930/320/7.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;source : from linux forum, re-write by me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;any suggest for my web or the article? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35348370-115972539173283853?l=linksys-wusb54g.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linksys-wusb54g.blogspot.com/feeds/115972539173283853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35348370&amp;postID=115972539173283853' title='42 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35348370/posts/default/115972539173283853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35348370/posts/default/115972539173283853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linksys-wusb54g.blogspot.com/2006/10/wusb54g-antenna-modification-1.html' title=''/><author><name>Jack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04856765221802916091</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/abigun2005/salsa.png'/></author><thr:total>42</thr:total></entry></feed>
