I've used the D-Link DWL-122 and the MS MN-510, with Kismac they just worked. I set it for USB Intersil Prism2 devices and bam passive scanning fun ever since. I didn't try to get them actually working under OSX because I have an Airport Extreme. But the D-Link comes with Mac Drivers (or so i've been told.) For external antenna I'd probably suggest the MN-510: It uses a low profile Hirose U.FL connector on the board. http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/amc.asp is a compatible connector. I'm planning to do AMC->MMCX+MMCX->N-Type pigtail so i don't have the N-Type connector hanging out of the case when i'm not using the external antenna. Hope this info is helpful. --David On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 14:00, Chris Osborn wrote: > On Jan 30, 2004, at 1:52 PM, David Reid wrote: > > > If you really want passive scanning/packet capture on your 17" PB > > pickup > > a nice supported PCMCIA card or like i'm doing is currently using a > > Microsoft MN-510 USB Adapter.
