Yea, i bought one of these from a different seller that claimed drivers for windows/osx/linux but failed to mention that the drivers are so crappy theyre almost unusable. In OS X, i can get active mode to work with kismac, but i cant even connect to an AP. In linux, i can get it working with kismet in monitor mode but i think frames get mangled and the results are not stable. I think the drivers are getting better so maybe in the future they will work.... --- Jon Steinmetz <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Apr 14, 2007, at 1:27 PM, John Warren wrote: > > > I don't know if the chipset is supported in > passive mode.
