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...?
