I have a 2-wire, rebadged orinoco gold card. I've downgraded the firmware to 6.16 for monitor purposes, and I used Alchemy to open the channels. In Windows, my card works splendidly, no problems. In BT2.0, hard drive install, the card is recognized, can be configured into monitor, and all the necessary programs will start successfully (aircrack, kizmet, etc). The problem is, I am unable to connect to anything, or see any networks/packets? By all accounts it appears to be configured and working correctly, but it's like I'm too far away from all the networks? (In Windows, there are 6 networks with good link status, and I can connect successfully.) Some documentation:
