I'm thinking zbout buying an Alfa card as i have learnt a lot of things with Vivek's book.
In my local store they are selling two types the classic one ALFA AWUS036H and the AWUS036H V5. Anyone knows about the V5 ?

I could be wrong but I think I remember Vivek saying he didn't get as good of results from the Alfa N card as he did from the b/g one. 

I was considering getting an Alfa but I checked the connection on my internal Dell wireless 1390 and it's constantly at 54Mbps so I'll stick with this one. :-)  (i was surprised)

If you're planning on doing anything more than monitoring (e.g. packet injection), then you'll want to make sure your internal card is capable.  One of the reasons for getting an Alfa card is that a lot of internal wifi cards can't do packet injection.

I thought the 1390 was able to do packet injection.  I'll try sometime soon and let you guys know.

Anyone else have any experience with the Alfa AWUS036NHR card? I was about to get it when I read that it's not plug & play with BT 5 (and manual driver installs were a pain) + something about it not capable of monitor mode while in N. I'm debating on whether or not go ahead and get it or stick with the old one (b/g only).
