The first one was a d-link DWL-600 (i think) and I could only get it working through ndiswrapper, and even then I wanted one with monitoring mode. For christmas I asked for an orinoco card because I was told they are good, but again, I got one that is unsupported under freeBSD and no monitoring mode (It's a proxim a/b combocard that isnt even supported by proxim anymore) Anyways, I need some suggestions. Can anyone suggest a good pcmcia wifi card that both works under freeBSD and has monitoring mode? My primary aim for using it is probably just for finding access points and the like so one that supports monitoring mode is a must. Thanks in advance!
