Recommended wireless card



I had good luck with Orinoco. In particular the external antenna
connector is nice (even though tiny and easy to break). I heard rumors
that some of the more recent Orinoco cards (802.11a?) do not have the
external antenna connector.

The card works fine in RedHat 9. However, to use it in sniffing mode
(Kismet/Airsnort), you need a patched kernel module.
