I can't speak to 9.0 but I've been using the linux-wlan-ng drivers since 8.1. I usually download and build the tarball version. They work fine for my prism2 cards. I also use kismet and other such tools without problem. The cooker rpms SHOULD work (though they may not necessarily be built to support monitor mode which is what is needed to run kismet and other such tools. There are dependencies to be met before building the driver if you wish to have full capabilities. praedor -- Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor...the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. --unknown
