I've decided to upgrade my wireless pcmcia card to something *really* well supported under Linux.
Its like looking for the digital holy grail.
It seems that the Prism chipsets are very well developed so after perusing the Prism54 supported cards list (http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php?sort_by=success_cnt) it seems that the Netgear Wg511 and the 3com OfficeConnect 11g are the pick of the bunch.
Got a Netgear WG511, because I basically visited the same page.
I want something that will do 128bit WEP, WPA (for when it's supported and yes, I will use a *real* VPN later).
Can't wait till WPA support hits the streets, so I can finally WiFi at uni in linux.
It would be great to have something that allows you to set it up as an AP and to sniff air traffic for testing work.
Prism2/2.5/3 cards are the one for that. Using hostap drivers, with the hostapd service.
Does anyone have any experience with these cards or another on the list?
Yeah its pretty good, but I keep hitting this bug.
