Indeed, would have been good to see a few more people there, but was still
a v. cool meeting :)

lol... My setup is a LinkSys WAP11 v1.1 (v2.2 is the latest ver, and what
you'll get if you go and buy one) and a coupla Lucient/Orinoco Wavelan
cards, and a PCMCIA->PCI adapter. All linux/xBSD supported, and all v.
good kit :)

Only 'problem' with the lucient cards is that the drivers don't totally
support 'monitor mode' which means it can be a little difficult to
wardrive with them under linux... but there's a patch for PCMCIA-CS that
should fix that (linked from airsnort.sourceforge.net)
