    Hi all--

    Just want to put it out as clearly as possible--if you are going to do
    anything involving the words "wireless" and "security," you are probably
    going to want to use Kismet (www.kismetwireless.net) at some point. And
    the important part, which Gary mentioned below, is that Kismet does not
    support a lot of the common chipsets, so check out the list of supported
    ones before you buy your wireless card...
