Dude, i know eh? Its like i need it but i dont wanna try it out for 100 bucks! Are there any express cards out there with a good chipset that will support injection and all the jazz?

unfortunatly not
the only solution is usb.......or better change the minipci card you got in the laptop..........

What type of mini-pci card do you recommend, i currently have a dell one that came with my laptop. Is there a good one under 100 bucks that will do everything?

There is no one card that will "do everything." Most pen-testers and security professionals have several cards expressly because there is no one "best" card.

I have about 5 different card, about 200 dollars worth, and two canntennas, and such, but i can use pcmcia! What is the best mini-pci card that you use? I want a card that can run airsnarf, and maybe injection to help with wep cracking

Why did you buy a new laptop with only express card if you have all this? "I have about 5 different card, about 200 dollars worth, and two canntennas, and such, but i can use pcmcia!"

I thought that the express card to pcmcia adapter would work, then i read it works under windows.

Got your priorities in the wrong order my friend. Rather than waiting to see if a $100 adapter would work with Linux, you should have bought a laptop with a PCMCIA slot!!!

1. Define your needs.
2. Purchase hardware.

If you start with #2, you're bound to failure.
