Note: Engenious=Senao I've used one of these clip on antennas, on the port supposedly preferred by the prism chipset. I haven't had a chance to compare it to the integrated version of this card, however I did compare it to my friends Prism 2 based D-Link card. Performance between his D-Link with integrated antenna and my Senao with the clip on antenna seemed close, although I'd give the edge to my Senao. My final impression, though, is the clip-on antenna is an invitation for problems and trouble with the Senao. If the card is used in a laptop, this means any bumps the antenna gets are transferred directly to the mmcx connector; storing the card outside the laptop is also brings the issue of whether to disconnect the clip-on antenna and store them separately, or still connected. If you mean to use the card in an stationary system the Senao with clip on connectors is fine, but if you are traveling with it get a card with a built-in antenna (and hopefully an antenna port).
