Exactly what I was thinking....
The Barriers are breaking down but here is the basics...
For Ease of Sniffing/Stumbling/Setup under linux...
a Prism2 Based Card is easiest. Kismet, Wellenreiter, ethereal, airsnort all work with them just fine and the actual install process under a semi recent kernel is no problem.
Wep Cracking... if you can sniff with the card, then running the dump through wepcrack is no problem... for a more automated approach a prism card is required. In this case, either will work... lucent is just more steps...
Many people have Lucents running and workign just fine under linux... I wish I was one of them... I have had nothing but hassels and no idea why its such an issue...
My prism works fine with Kismet, though I cant seem to get Wellenreiter working yet... biggest complain is almost no Prism cards have external Ant Jacks...
