I have recently upgraed to Red Hat 9.0 and i would like to know what wireless cards are compatible with my OS and what software i could use to war drive.
Most Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset cards are supported. As are the orinoco chipset cards. Those are your best bets. With the orinoco cards I would use the orinoco drivers and for Prism based cards (with the exception of USB prism devices) I would use the hostap drivers.
There is a standard wireless tools package for configuration.
