I use the proxim orinoco gold 11 b/g PC Card along with the Mad Wifi
Atheros Drivers from atrpms on FC3, no problems. Got it from
fab-corp.com up near New Port Richey. If you tell them your using it
for kismet/war driving, they will give you a discount. Great guys up
there, can pick anything they have in stock same day (if you want to,
can always have it shipped), and they take PayPal.
