Reviving my old thread

Since my laptop is toast, I'm going to be bringing my CarPC with me to Afghanistan in July. (it 's never been installed in the car yet anyway)
Since there apparently is going to be wireless internet availability there I'd like to get going on my antenna purchase and testing before I go. Although this set-up will be used in my room in camp I''ll be looking to continue using this antenna afterwards when the PC is installed in my Z.
I'm considering this antenna;

It only come in N-Female connector or RP-SMA connector. I'm assuming I should be going for the latter - RP-SMA because of the U.FL pigtail I wish to use.
I like to go with this U.FL pigtail cable to my card;

I need to know which U.FL pigtail to select. Do I go with the SMA-Female Bulkhead jack;

or the RP-SMA Bulkhead jack;

I'm hoping to order these items up within the next few days so that I'll have time to install and test before packing everything up for my deployment for 6 months. I'd prefer to order everything from the same place for shipping and conveniance sake. My appologies if this appears to be a dumb question. cheers,
John
