Best Firmware/Driver to use for outdoor links?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

miniPCI cards with 22.5dBm (+/- 2dBm) tx power are available.    
Similar PCMCIA cards are 23dBm +/- 2dBm.

One of the issues is that some (mini)PCI sockets on some boards can't 
supply enough current to the card(s).

'High gain'?  eh?
