I would like to perform discovery of 802.11b networks and WEP cracking on the same card. Currently WEP cracking is limited to a select number of Prism II cards. Addtron AWP-100 Bromax Freeport Compaq WL100 D-Link DWL-650 GemTek (Taiwan) WL-211 Linksys WPC11 Samsung SWL2000-N SMC 2632W Z-Com XI300 Zoom Telephonics ZoomAir 4100 LeArtery Solutions SyncbyAir LN101 Unfortunately from my research these cards are lacking when it comes to their range when compared with other cards such as the Cisco Aironet 340/350 or the Lucent Orinoco cards. It also appears that these cards do not have connectors for external antennas. If this is true, is it asking too much for the above cards to do net stumbling? If so, is there a way to boost the gain to one of these cards so it would be more effective in this role? Alternatively, are there other cards better suited for the discovery of 802.11b networks that can also perform WEP cracking? ===== Justin Childs danstofl () yahoo com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
