Just curious, can any of those cards do wpa2 either via new firmware or doing the newer protocol in the linux driver? A card that only does plaintext (or wep, which is effectively plaintext) isn't going to be all that useful. For one, it is going to force you to turn off any strong protection on your access point, opening you up to attacks from scammers / spammers that are doing a bit of drive-by mischief. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
