Re: Is my WLAN card compatible?
For a list of tested wireless cards you can read our Wiki and the Aircrack-NG website and forum, as for the rest of the hardware we have a "Working Hardware" section and a "Non working hardware" one.
Re: Is my WLAN card compatible?
But it's not updated yet when will it be updated??
IT's written there
" Wireless Cards
THIS LIST NEEDS TO BE UPDATED FOR BT5.
Tested and working cards "

Re: Is my WLAN card compatible?
At least with my wireless cards, I've found compatibility between BT4 & BT5 the same. That is, if it worked in BT4, it works in BT5. I personally like the Alfa AWUS036H; it does monitor mode & packet injection with no problem in BT5.

The newer the hardware the less support it has..
Scottm99 is giving you the best choice. Always try to buy something according to the chipset..If no chipset is shown, scratch it off your list and save yourself some bucks.
Sickness is quite clear, go to aircrack-ng web site and check compatibility..If it is old, again, no new hardware is well supported...
