Peter Folk told me about this. Apparently the Motia Javelin chip combines
signals from four antennas to provide 18dB gain. It works at the radio
frequency, so it is conceivable that you can use it as an "add-on"
for an existing 802.11b radio.

There is a good summary in this article,

I am curious whether we can use it with, say, four of our 8dBi omni
antennas.
