[MLB-WIRELESS] Microstumbler- standalone wifi card hack

[Nath]

Linksys also make something like this.
The WUSBF54G

    * High-speed Wireless-G networking for your desktop or notebook computer
    * Built-in Wi-Fi Finder detects Wireless-G and Wireless-B signals
    * Easy to read display shows network name, channel, signal strength,
      and security on/off
    * Wireless communications are protected by up to 128-bit WEP or WPA
      encryption


not sure if this link will work, but here is the homepage for it

I haven't had a play with one yet as they seem a little expensive with a 
RRP of $139.95ex
