A wifi antenna doesn't normally connect via USB, but via a screw-on
coaxial connector (a smaller version of what you find on cable TV boxes).

Hawking makes a number of different external antennas which seem
to work fairly nicely.  Make sure you get one compatible with your
wifi setup (e.g. 802.11A and 802.11B/G use different frequencies).
