What Prism2 cards are really working?

10-15-2001

Hi
i'm searching for a good wlan prism2 card to buy.. but the more i search around the more confused i get. hopefully someone can clear me up.
i heared lots of stuff about cards. for example that the Linksys WPC11 isn't working at all under linux. maybe other cards too with prism2?
i also heared some got the Cisco Aironet 340 working with Airsnort.
Maybe someone can say for sure what works and doesn't work with Airsnort.. i would appreciate it

The d-link dwl-650 works in linux (but not yet in NS)

[as does the dwl-500; which is essentially a dwl-650 with a PCI to PCMCIA bridge that uses the yenta_socket pcmcia driver.]

In older kernels is is supported by the wvlan driver, in newer kernels the orinoco_cs driver is needed.. [yes the orinoco driver has support for that card even though it is a prims and not a hermes card]

Both the Linksys and Zoom work great for me. Both based on Prisim.

I highly recommed the Zoom 4105 with it's external antenna connector.

Both work well with Ethereal and Airsnort.

I have a LinkSys WPC11 v2.5 that I was able to get working on redhat linux 7.2, an upgraded kernel (2.4.18) and the linux-wlan package. I can connect to the wireless networks I have at home and at work with a switch of config files.
