[kismac] Re: UBS dongle for MacBook

To be specific, the driver in question is for Ralink RT2500 or RT2571 (can't remember exactly, it's the USB one) chipsets. The Most prevalent devices with this chipset are the D-Link DWL-G122 B1 and Linksys WUSB54G v4, though there are others. Other than this chipset, the only other 802.11g chipset that seems to be "injection- friendly" is the Atheros. The Atheros chipsets don't come in a USB version though, so they could (if an injection driver was written) only be used by Macs with pcmcia (assuming you want a laptop). As the new MacBooks either have no such slot or an incompatible ExpressCard slot, that wouldn't help very much.

"is being worked on" refers to efforts under way in the KisMAC team to
support g networks? In general or just this particular piece of
hardware?
