Thanks for the reply.

I installed Redhat 9 and am trying to get USB interfaces to work.

Ethereal download gets very busy (Version Glare!) in trying to find current data.

Windows package is 1 file that includes Winpcap Etc.

Got lost very quickly trying to get instruction and proper version (Latest).

RPM's are marked , dont use .  Ouch

Will keep digging through the pile..

 1 I am looking for a list of compatable wireless cards.
 2 Would moving to linux change any ablity to monitor ??

Monitoring on wireless cards is usually very crippled under Windows, e.g. http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/ (and the wiki page link) gives a good introduction why switching to linux is a good choice in this case.

As I don't do that myself, can't give you any further tips which cards could be recommended and alike.
