Cisco 340 802.11b PCMCIA Client Adapter

Tested with Windows XP and Fedora Core 2

Windows

Works well with Windows when using the Cisco drivers. Ultimately configurable with respect to transmission power and power use settings.

Linux

The LINUX kernels > 2.3 have the airo_cs module precompiled, making most distributions compatible by default. This supports basic use, but is very hard to configure in any non-standard setup. I was never able to get it working with WEP encryption. I also had difficulty getting the unit to work with Kismet in rfmon mode.
