Linux and any number of packages... ethereal, ntop....

Right. I was specifically talking about Win32. I am aware that there are linux programs that will do it.

The Lucent cards are more than worth their price.

Yes, the replacement card will be either a Lucent or Orinoco unit, for that very reason.

The Linksys wireless card problem surprised me, since I have had very good luck in the past with their other products. Their BEFSR11 and BEFSR41 routers are great.
