EdinSimon Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi, I'm trying to find out what would be the best Wireless PCI network card to get (not USB) as I'm going to get one for my server machine and would like to get the best. Preferably one that supports all modes and works well with BT5 etc.. (good alround chipset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morfir Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 PCI or PCIe? To say one is much better than another in my opinion is not correct, it's more of choosing a card that is either compatible with or supports the things you want to do with it. For example, do you need a card that can do wireless B/G/N? Or does the card need to support monitor mode? Maybe even a card that had 2 antennas one for a directional yagi and a omni directional? Or maybe you want to check on if the chipset supports packet injection... All things considered you can pick a good card, check out newegg.com and look at some of the reviews and that will give you a place to start. Then head over to http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=a87856f50282e13f10f5453658bc640d#compatibility and check for compatibility for mon0 and injection, because if your using bt5 im guessing you'll want those... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPU_Jazz Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Wireless on a server, that is a scary thought! Pick a card based on chipset that way you avoid driver and app support issues/hassles. I think it was the most recent Hak5 show Darren says same thing, use a supported chipset and the rtl8187 is one Linux has supported for years.
