just so you know, pringles cans are not really useable for wireless, their
diameter is too small.

this web page has a decent little web calculator to help you determin the
effectiveness of a can-style waveguide antenna.
http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html

anything with a diameter under 6.1cm will be too small.  and the site
recommends a 7.2cm diameter.
