802.11 for Vehicles?

Posted by Cliff on from the hope-you've-got-a-good-car-alarm dept.

mantid asks: "I am about to do a long trip (1 year) in a VW Vanagon, and would like to set up wireless net access from within the vehicle. What is the most effective system for hassle-free, permanent, long-term installation? Note, this is not just for wardriving, many truckstops, netcafes, and coffee shops are now offering legit net access. I just don't want to have to bring laptop inside to do it. Please suggest tried and true antenna types as well as tips/concerns/issues."

    Just drive up and use the antenna on your laptop... If you need more than that get a cantenna. Why the hell would you want to mount the whole thing on your car ?
