Greetings.
This is my first contribution to this list so please be gentle.

If you're couragous then you can add one all by you're self.
All you need is a little soldering and some steady hand,you have to
desolder the capacitor that is used with the two antennas and solder a
plug instead of it .The two antennas are for diversity(two antennas
,the one wich receive a better signal is used).
I tried it on a dlink DWL 650+ wich are not nativly supported under
linux but the great ppl over at ACX100(and ACX111) got a linux driver
working.
It worked great and it supports rf-mon mode wish is essential if you
plan using kismet or any tool that logs raw packet without connecting
to an AP.
I used it on a mac G3 (wish is old very old)and it worked great!

Hopefully this helps.

Reards
Laurent.
