WLAN USB Recommendations
 
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a WLAN USB. Unfortunately, the list over at www.linux-wlan.com/ hasn't been updated for quite some time. I'm looking for something with WEP and WPA support, and preferably, something that is available through newegg or amazon. Thanks for your help.

I'm a supporter of that Linksys WUSB54G I think it's called. Works great with ndiswrapper.

Thanks Tralce. Any idea if this is Kismet compatible or not?

USB is bad for network.
Don't you have any pci slot or pcmcia?

nx5000, just out of curiousity, what do you mean USB is bad for network? The problem with PCMCIA is that one of my notebooks (my old one) has a PCMCIA while my new one has an ExpressCard slot and I want to be able to use the USB WLAN on both of them depending on the situation.

For those interesting, I just came across the "3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Compact USB Adapter" which is pretty cheap (about $25) + supports monitor mode and has good Linux support. Read more over at: http://zd1211.ath.cx/
