Ok i'm going to buy a new wireless card soon. I need one bad. My current Entrasys is doing really weird things.
I've narrowed it down to three possibilites. I want to know which one would be the very best at stumbling. (not connecting to networks or anything. My linksys does that just fine.
) I'll be using slackware 9.1, debian 3, and a couple other cd distros of linux. I love linux. :P Anyway, i really could care less if it works with netstumbler although it'd be nice. (not really since i never use it. Kismet has me spoiled. ) Here are my choices. I've listed them in the order i think they come im. If you have any other ideas of suggestions please make them, but i'd like to hear about these choices specifically.
My first choice is the NetGate NL-2511CD PLUS EXT2. This card is an oem of the Senao SL-2511CD PLUS EXT2 or an Engenius EL-2511CD EXT. They are all the very same card. This card runs about $75. I love this card because of its power and because it has 2 antenna ports.

My second choice, which i just read about, is the SMC EliteConnect 2.4GHz High Power Wireless PC Card. I just read about this card in another post on the board. I remember reading somewhere that this card supposedly had better recieve range than the netgate. I'm not sure where though. I like this choice because its local and its cheaper. Its $69.

My third choice isnt really a choice. lol. Its more of a fall back option. And that option is the standard Orinoco Gold Classic. I like this card, but i think i'd perfer one of the other two.
I'd appriciate anyting anyone has to say. Remember all i want this card for is stumbling. I want it to have a really good recieve range. Thanks for your help!!!
