You can get the patches you need at Newsham's site http://www.lava.net/~newsham/wlan. Plus Ethereal patches that are pretty slick. The "special" thing about PRISM II cards is the source code for promiscuous mode is readily available. I have the SMC 2632w that works well. I hear the D-Link card is pretty easy to add an external antenna interface to, my SMC does not have the an external antenna connection. Hope that helps!
