  It is crazy world: you could buy Mini-PCI / Mini-PCIe cards locally.
With MMCX or U.FL connectors. You could by antennas -- RP-SMA, N-type,
any. All of this you could buy locally, in city's computer stores. Not
in everyone, but there are several big ones, which have such parts.  And
NO ONE sell pigtails! AT ALL! Personnel doesn't understand, what I'm
asking about. One very special place offers custom-made cables -- any
connectors, any length, but for short U.FL <-> RP-SMA cable they ask
$30 (USD). For one. Ooops.

   I'm not sure :) It means, that my previous card is not broken (it
 is good), but it means too, that my environment is very noisy (it is
 bad) :)

  Ok.

  It seems, that this setting is not shown in "ifconfig" output.

  And what about channels? All these HT/20 and HT/40 -- what is best?
