Now the next question is: Is anyone aware of a matrix that shows which card currently on the market has driver support for a) monitor mode, b) for promiscuous mode? I have a Cisco 340 with hacked drivers that allow for promiscuous mode. I have not checked it for monitor mode. It would be great if someone already has a web page with a capability matrix....
