    Actually... I think it should be noted that : The use of an NDIS wrapper may
    in some instances not allow you to run some of the security tools you are
    trying to employ. Tools such as Kismet ( I believe ) rely on native Linux
    drivers.

    We have run across this problem / issue in the past.

    Very very few cards have drivers for linux. You have to use a
    NDISWrapper which strips the windows drivers into something linux card
    read. For a general guideline consult the following URL:

    I'm trying to find a wireless card for my laptop with an external
    antenna jack and linux drivers but the linux part is eliminating every
    one I have seen.

    Suggestions...?
