RE: Wireless Cards for pen testing?

Get an Orinoco Gold with the Hermes2 chipset. Then use the Backtrack LiveCD
and you're set to pen-test.

Subject: Wireless Cards for pen testing?

Hi,

   im jus starting out at a security firm and have been put in charge of
getting my own kit because the person in charge is on leave. i will be
starting out with wired network audits but i have been given a free run of
the wireless section too. 

         

             could u recommend some cards that are supported by all security
test software? eg airsnort/kismet? will i need to purchase one of each
chipset? ie prism2/atheros. i need windows and linux support. thanks
