Thanks for the word; i'll give the adaptor a whirl. I anticipate you to
mean this device does the passive mode thing? Are you aware of any
other sources that vett other nics for Kismac-suitability?
Kind of you (and Brad) to reply to me. Many thanks. I'm more of a noc
technician, a layer 1/layer 2/layer 3 guy, config routers and
swuitches, but when i have time I like to mess about and see what's out
there, keep my layer 4 and above knowledge current. Kismac is a
WONderful tool, and also learning platform. I follow this list for that
reason. Maybe I can be of help to someone else someday.
Last question: is 'gack' also a verb, or merely an exclamation? =/8 )
Hmmm..
warm regards,
Eric Lecht

Couldn't find a list/discussion of USB-attachable adaptors that might be Kismac passive-mode friendly...just the admonition that AE don't
work right, and to sign the petition...can anyone point out USB-attached nics that'll work? If such exists? Happy to do the reading,
if i could find it.
In case my earlier response was masked by the HTML garbage inserted by my mail client, here's a plain text answer:
Get a DLink DWL-122 USB WiFi adapter. It's perfect for the task, and cheap (about $20 from Amazon [at least Amazon in Europe] or on eBay).
If you want to mess about with directional antennas too, go for this site: http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/
Hope that helps... and hope I've killed off the HTML-ifying of my messages...
