I bought a Linksys WPC55AG PCMCIA card back in '04.  It works well with
the Madwifi Atheros driver.  The WPC11 (most common at Walmart, etc.)
is a crap shoot.  The later models most likely have the Realtek
chipset.

I made my choice based on the driver that was well supported by Kismet.
Madwifi seemed as good as any and I'm happy to report that Kismet works
well with Madwifi and the card.
