You can't use any model that supports 802.11g and put it into monitor
mode currently. If you want a good USB wireless sniffer device, try
hunting down an old DWL-122 USB 802.11b. They tend to be a bit more
expensive (30$), but are worth it.

Ok, you can find some models of USB2 802.1g adapter for $5-20 now

I'm tempted as I believe this would allow me to do more powerful
netstumbling, should I need to do so. Since the Airport Extreme in
my 12" PB can't be put into the most useful monitoring modes for
stumbling.
The one that's available now ($5) is a Hawking Technology HWU54G,
which uses the Zydas zd1211 Chipset. There are Linux drivers on
sourceforge for this chipset, but it doesn't look like there's any
OS X activity.
KisMac look like the best stumbler (only?). It's documentation
says it supports chipsets:
* Apple Airport
* Lucent Hermes I & II (Orinoco 2 and 11MBit)
* Intersil Prism 2, 2.5, 3 in PCMCIA and USB devices
* Cisco Aironet (with older 4.xx firmware)
* Intersil PrismGT (with newest SVN version)
Can anyone suggest models of USB2 802.1b/g adapters that are cheap,
and use one of these chipsets?
Thanks,
Brian
