as long as you have specific requirements, of the wlan, you have
to do some homework
some things ndis wrapper does not support, iircc ..
- it cannot be an "AP", because MS is not "allowed"
by their buddies that do make consumer ap
- it does not(?) support monitor mode for sniffing
some drivers does NOT support wpa
- if you do want wpa, you have to find a madwifi or hostap
based chipset
if you want to wireless sniff traffic, you need to fnd one that
supports "monitor" mode
- madwifi drivers works
if you want to run in adhoc mode ..
- you should make up your mind, if you're an AP or client
- madwifi does NOT support adhoc mode
- which drivers supports which wifi cards
