    I would like to perform discovery of 802.11b networks and WEP cracking
    on the same card.  Currently WEP cracking is limited to a select number
    of Prism II cards.
    
    Addtron AWP-100 
    Bromax Freeport 
    Compaq WL100 
    D-Link DWL-650 
    GemTek (Taiwan) WL-211 
    Linksys WPC11 
    Samsung SWL2000-N 
    SMC 2632W 
    Z-Com XI300 
    Zoom Telephonics ZoomAir 4100 
    LeArtery Solutions SyncbyAir LN101 
    
    Unfortunately from my research these cards are lacking when it comes to
    their range when compared with other cards such as the Cisco Aironet
    340/350 or the Lucent Orinoco cards.  It also appears that these cards
    do not have connectors for external antennas.  If this is true, is it
    asking too much for the above cards to do net stumbling?  If so, is
    there a way to boost the gain to one of these cards so it would be more
    effective in this role?  Alternatively, are there other cards better
    suited for the discovery of 802.11b networks that can also perform WEP
    cracking?
