Kelly,

I am using a D-Link DWL-122 with my MBP and it works just fine. OS X sees it as a Prism 2 chipset and KisMAC uses it natively. I have also used it successfully on other systems with both Auditor and BackTrack.

Other than having to use Rosetta every once in a while to get a DMG to work correctly, I do not see any problems with the MBP. I have Windows XP installed under Paralles but have not spent any time with it.

I just bought a macbook pro.  I can still take it
back if I want to but, I'm wondering if any of you
find the macbook pro (intel proc) useful for pen
testing?

I'm running an app called parallels.  Parallels is
like vmware for mac.  But I'm not sure if I can
build internal networks like vmware tho.

My biggest question is ...

 - What usb wireless cards are available that work
   with the bootable linux distros (for pen
   testing)?

 - Is the macbook pro (intel) useful for pen
   testing?
