I am working an R&D project for the navy. I need to attach 6 USB 802.11a adapters to a single linux laptop running Ubuntu. The devices have to do the following from the command line:
1) work in Ad-hoc mode
2) have removable antenna
3) Must be able to change frequencies manually
4) must be able to get RSSI value
5) must work at the 5 ghz 802.11a range
I have bought the following devices Alfa and Roswell

I installed the drivers under ubuntu but they both dont work under adhoc mode.
They both do work fine under mac and windows but I gotta run them under Linux.
Does anyone know of any adapters that will meet the requirements I listed above?
Basically what I need is a madwifi driver that will work on usb devices.
Thanks
Joe
