ok, so I herd that the prisim chipset is the best around, and that proxim cards rule, but what chipset does proxim use, and what card do you reccommend, ps. it needs to work with kismet
Which Proxim? The A/G ones use Atheros. The old ones use Prism.
There are several versions of Prism chipsets. In the old, B world, 2, 2.5 & 3. Avoid 2. SMC 2532B-W is a nice v2.5 card with high tx power. The latest Prism cards use the prism54 driver.
