Re: pentesting and macbook pro

[DaKahuna <da.kahuna () gmail com>]

Kelly,

 I am using a D-Link DWL-122 with my MBP and it works just fine.  OS  
X sees it as a Prism 2 chipset and KisMAC uses it natively.  I have  
also used it successfully on other systems with both Auditor and  
BackTrack.

Other than having to use Rosetta every once in a while to get a DMG  
to work correctly, I do not see any problems with the MBP.  I have  
Windows XP installed under Paralles but have not spent any time with it.
