Installed that the other night and am trying hard to figure it all out - noob here. Iwconfig sees both cards Prism and Orinoco depending on eth0 or eth1. Network config wizard seems geared for wired networks though and was of no use. Not sure I've gotten a DHCP lease and have mainly been tinkering trying to get Kismet and other toys runing. Form what you've said about 8.1 it sounds like it can go promiscous without a recompile - yes? If so that's a relief! I'm still installing Libpcap, Ethereal, and the GPS stuff so I'm not quite "there" yet but skipping having to diff and recompile would be NICE.

FWIW - I simply left the two cards in while the OS was installed. It seemed to recognize the cards with no help from me at all. Slowly getting there but for someone who's only used Linux briefly a few times it's a real PITA...
