Subject: USB device that supports master mode?

Hello Wireless folks,

I'm looking for a USB device that supports master mode, preferably with a
connection for an external antenna.

Does anyone know of specific products that satisy these criteria?

thanks,

Rob Urban

TP-Link TL-WN422G has an external antenna, it's a USB device and it
supports master mode with the patches for ath9k_htc that were recently
posted:

The device appears to be capable of 802.11n, even though that capability
is not advertised on the box. I haven't run any benchmarks though.

I've a rt3070 that can do access point,
I've tried it with wireless-compat and it worked.
But I've not used it extensively(I plan to do so altough because of the
good range.)
It also has a connector for the antenna,but I don't know the brand,
there is no brand written on it.
