Pretty much any prism2 chipset card. Now, manufacturers change chipsets all the time, so it's hard to tell.

I have an older Netgear MA401 that works like a charm for anything and everything wireless-related. I suggesting using the hostap drivers, as they support monitor mode [like the orinoco drivers] and monitor mode [which for prism2 the orinoco at least used to have problems with]. It may be hard to find one with a prism2 chip in it though.. As Matir pointed out, they change specs all the time without changing the label.

cheers guys....but mpeg4codec does that card you have support monitor mode. i want to be to capture packets to use kismet/wepcrack.

It supports monitor mode and is wonderful for Kismet. I've never actually cracked a key using wepcrack, but that's just because I've never actually tried to. It captures packets just fine, though.
