And what card/model would that be?? I wouldn't mind getting a couple
of $20 wireless cards for a change.
I have two Hawking (one PCMCIA and one USB) devices that use the RaLink
drivers (don't know if they are 2500 or not) and I can't get them to
work in linux. Well, let me restate that.... I try to get them to
autodetect when running the Auditor live CD and also Knoppix-STD and
they don't autodetect.
I've resorted to sticking with Prism 2 chipsets because they autodetect
so well. My fav right now is the Z-Com 325HP (found here
http://www.moonblink.com/pd_zcom.cfm) It allows me to plug in external
antennas (http://www.moonblink.com/pd_12dbi.cfm) for wardriving.
If you don't want to spoil your talk, just private email me the
card/model... it would be appreciated. thanks.
