Wireless discovery and WEP cracking on one 802.11b card

[Dan Stofl <danstofl () yahoo com>]

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?
