I can verify that the D-Link DWL-650, the SMC 2632W, and the Linksys WPC11 will all work. I have used them personally. I prefer the SMC, it seems to have better RF performance. The D-Link is (IMHO) pure junk.
Compaq has had a few cards out now... One is a Lucent (Orinono), the other is a D-Link. If it's the one that looks like the DWL-650, it will work, but the same caveat likely applies.

Hi,
      I had read a few posts from Joe, saying that he
has been successfully using Prismdump with NIC cards
for quite some time now. I had limited success with
Windows, so I am switching to Linux. I would like to
know which of the following PrismII based cards will
work with Prismdump and Red hat 7.1. If none of these
work, then please suggest me some that do work.

Compaq WL100
D-Link DWL-650
GemTek (Taiwan) WL-211
Linksys WPC11
Samsung SWL2000-N
SMC 2632W
Z-Com XI300

Also if you can let me know the firmware version and
other specifics, then that would help me a lot in
purchasing a suitable card. Thanks for your help.

Regards,
rakesh
