[MLB-WIRELESS] milestone

[vortex]

IIRC Lucent/Orinoco cards are based on the Prism II chipset - it's just their 
firmware is not compatible with the current round of WEP crackers.

For cost benefit, OS compatibility & the ease of external antenna connection, 
consider revising this as a requirement. I'm pretty sure that WEP cracking 
tools will become more ubiquitous soon anyway.
