Exclamation Recommendations for a wireless card...


Hi all,

After my previous post, I've decided that it'd be easier to get a 802.11b card for now and get a g card when they're better supported.

Now, my question is this: what card do people recommend for use with kismet/airsnort, working in monitor mode?

Also: you'll notice I'm from the UK - where can I get one of these mythical natively supported cards (a website or a shop name would do)?

Thanks for peoples help so far.

Pete

Kismet's site documents what cards work well pretty throughly, but the short answer is, "prism2".

The LQ HCL is always a good place to look.

The classic ORiNOCO cards are probably the easiest to run under Linux and work with Kismet/Airsnort. cdw.com and newegg.com have them - both U.S. sites. Not sure of their ability to ship to the UK. Make sure to get the classic, not the world gold - different card entirely.

Zcomax cards are great as well - probably easier to find in Europe as the ZyXEL B-101 (Zcomax made certain cards for ZyXEL, SMC and others). Detachable antenna allows for the use of an external one.
