Thanks (both of you) for the info.  I'm using the prism54 drivers which
seem to work quite well with kismet and ettercap.  Had wondered about
the ndiswrapper working since I have a linksys card (in addition to the
DWL-G650 that I am currently using) that I suspect would have to have
ndiswrapper to work with it.
