Ahh... sorry.  I was unaware of that subtle difference (and I haven't
even tried any reinjection myself)

This looks is the one I'm using:

Hmm... it claims it's a PrismIII, yet Kismac seems to do passive mode
fine with it using the PrismII driver. (at least that's my experience
over the past 6 months).  I'll assume that the one I bought last year
uses the same chip that's used by the dongle in the link above.
