5.8GHz antennas for 802.11a are produced commercially.
http://www.fab-corp.com/ is one vendor.

Is this for a PC/laptop, or the access point, or both?
Does an existing link work at all at this length?
Is it clear line of site between two windows, outdoors, brick buildings,
trees?

The D-Link AirPremier AG DWL-AG530 PCI card comes with an external
antenna.

There is no reason that you couldn't build your own, except that tolerances
are tight, but for this distance, that doesn't matter. A cantenna should
be about 50mm in diameter, 150-200mm long.

If you have an existing access point, you might just put a reflector on it,
like www.freeantennas.coim EZ-12, although the + point for the antenna
should be half as far away from the reflector.
