Reverse TNC - A normal TNC connector with the threads reversed. The male has a threaded shell, and the female has a rotating threaded nut like part.

What I know for sure, is that you can get a conector (far left bin thrid row down) at Vetco which you can trim into shape so that it will work with the LinksysWap11. The conector in the bin looks like a straight ahead Reverse TNC. Linksys had to tweak the design a little more by making the central insulator have a longer neck. You need to trim the sholders down, lenghtening the neck on the female center insulator in the conector you will find at Vetco to make it work with a LinksysWap11. Bring one to a meeting, pin me down, and I will show you, its not hard. (It is brutal, so bring an extra in case of mistakes.)

What I don't know is if the LinksysBefw11S4 uses the same connector. (A: WAP11 and BEFW11S4 uses the same connectors /Pantheon) I'll bring an antenna to the next meeting if someone will bring a LinksysBefw11S4. (I could even send it home with someone...)

RP-TNC and other connectors can be bought from HyperLink Technologies. Or pick up some of their premade Wireless LAN Radio Pigtails.
