I have Hawking Antenna( looks like square white box w/chord) that I use to
connect to PCI wifi card to get on the internet(picks up signal from router like linksys).
Is is possible to connect this Hawkin antenna to USB port on Laptop to do same thing?
Thanks in advance.

Can you list the model of that item.
Hawking Technologies has so many items, that information would be a big help.

Gee, there is no number on it. It is about 8x8 inches, white w/cable coming out.....just says "Hawking Technology" on one corner of front. I do know it is used by some people as an outside antenna. I have it connected to Linksys WMP11 PCI card( unscrewed antenna that came with Linksys card and hooked this up to it) Looks like this one.

I do not see anyway to connect a USB to it.
Now it you have a USB nic with the right external antenna, then yes, you can hook it up.

Antenna is a component of a Wireless card.
It can be used on another card.
I.e., You can buy a USB Wireless card for a Laptop and if it needs an Antenna you can use the one that you have.
