h3%5kr3w Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 hope your not looking for any monitor mode functions, as the only usb dongle based wifi card that works with that is the cace airpcap card (uber expensive) BUT I did find this little nice thing when I was rooting though newegg!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...Syba-_-12186058 This would be a great tool for anyone with a newer laptop (like me) that needs either a fully supported monitor mode network card or a wireless N card that does not have a pcmcia/express card slot. anyone here know if it works well with linux?

He's asking about linux, not windows. http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/in...hp/HCL:Wireless Is a list of working wifi cards with linux. See that big assed list of usb devices? Any of those will work with linux. Maybe not all will do moonitor mode, but all the alpha's will. Just click on one to see the pro's and con's of each adapter. I'd go with an Alpha.

Ill be honest, im using it with BT3 or BT4 so will it be good for that? Will i need any drivers or anything? how's the range. Any other recommendations? i hear antheros chipsets are better.
