Vista and monitor mode

I am curious as to which chipsets and cards will go into monitor mode
with network monitor 3.2 and Vista. Has anybody had success and with
which cards?
There is a short list at

My Vista machine seems to work ok with the AR5007 Chipset but I am
thinking of replacing this card.

NetMon 3.2 is available from

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

I have XP Pro and use WZC with a Zyxel AG-120 PC Card. Your post
inspired me to try the client that came with the card and it seems to
be able to switch it to monitor mode.

At least my own APs show up in the scan list after I have turned off
SSID broadcast. MAC address and signal strength are there as well.

I cannot say if monitor mode works with Network Monitor and Vista. I
suppose it's a question of Zyxel publishing the specs.
