Hi all-- Just want to put it out as clearly as possible--if you are going to do anything involving the words "wireless" and "security," you are probably going to want to use Kismet (www.kismetwireless.net) at some point. And the important part, which Gary mentioned below, is that Kismet does not support a lot of the common chipsets, so check out the list of supported ones before you buy your wireless card...

All the 802.11a cards I've come across used Atheros chipsets, and I couldn't find linux drivers for any of them. How about you guys?There is no complete solution for Broadcom or Atheros chips on Linux. These two can get you on the net: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ The madwifi driver is even supported by Kismet.
