Those numbers don't look like anything I've seen that's a
Wavelan/Orinoco/Lucent/Agrere/Avaya/Proxim/Whatever wireless card.
Got a reference? Got a card? Got an FCC ID number?

You'll find the Orinoco "monitor mode" (ascan and rfmon) patches at:
<http://www.projectiwear.org/~plasmahh/orinoco.html>
However, these are for the Hermes chipset, not the later Prism 2.5/3
chips. You'll have to determine what you have first.

If all else fails, find the FCC ID from the card, and dive into the
FCC ID web pile. Look at the photos for chipset ID's:
<https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm>

There's quite a bit on Linux hardware compatibility and promiscuous
mode drivers at:
<http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=043b8e0 64d8f5a1fffafed0f24d85780>
See the references under "determine the chipset".
Also:
<http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers#which_is_the_bes t_card_to_buy>
Note that this is for WEP cracking, not war driving. However, the
same drivers and problems are applicable to both.
