Some do, and many don't. If your present client doesn't, you'll have to
experiment. Many, usually older clients work with other cards than the
one they come with. It depends on a lot of things like the chipset used
etc.

The Netgear one(s) look promising.

Try one of the early ones (for the v1) if your card has a Prism chipset:

Or the newer one (the v2 - don't know what chipset it uses, maybe some
Googling will tell you) here:

McAfee may (still?) have (I haven't looked recently) a link for a free
client. Search their site. Maybe their client will show the MAC address.

If these don't do the job, look for some more.

I use a Philips client, for their SNN6500 a/b/g card (Atheros chipset)
and the client there displays the MAC addresses.

OK.
