Something to scratch your head at.
I’m up late but its for a reason. I’m up for learning right now. I was looking for a new wireless card for my laptop when I realized that a router I had on my hands had a miniPCI (laptop version of the PCI slow). The router is a WRT54Gv1(I think). So I decided, what the hell? I pulled out my old miniPCI card (Default c610 wireless card which is a Orinoco gold.) I put the wireless card in form the router into my laptop. I started up back track 2 Linux, started up airodump-ng and WOOT!, it worked!!1. The chip set is a Broadcom 4306. It has 802.11b/g on it. Here is a copy of the text from iwconfig:
bt ~ # iwconfig eth0
eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:”Broadcom 4306″
