Wireless Questions

[bigdogg]

I'm going to Best Buy in a few hours what is the easiest Wireless PCMCIA Nic I could purchase? I have finally loaded Fedora Core 4 on a test laptop that I will be using for security purposes at work. I would like to use Airsnot to make sure our AP's are secure. Is there a software out there that will allow you to do a Wireless survey of an office building? Can you think of any other wireless software's that might be helpful for me?

One more easy question how do you release and renew from a command prompt :rolleyes:

Thanks,

So I purchased the following card:

D-Link
WNA-2330
Atheros AR5212 v: A1

Any suggestions on what driver to load to get it working?

I have kernel release 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 so the packages i loaded using yum for my atheros 5212 based card were:
madwifi.i386 0.9.6.0-18.rhfc4.at
madwifi-kmdl-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.i686 0.9.6.0-18.rhfc4.at
wireless-tools.i386 1:28-0.pre10.4

Awesome. But I did did the following:

yum search madwifi.i386

yum search madwifi*

And I can’t find the packages? Are you using the default repositories? I did install the wireless-tools :-)

I added the following repo's:

[core]
name=FreshRPMS-Core
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/core
http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/core
failovermethod=priority

gpgcheck=1
[updates]

But still no luck :confused:
