I've been using dopesquad's stumbler for a while, and I really dig it - 
works quite well, indeed :)

Do you think it's possible to use their driver to capture raw packets 
in monitor mode which could later be processed by a wep cracking 
utility? Dopesquad hasn't written anything but a stumbler based on 
their driver (that I have found, anyway), and I just don't know quite 
enough about C / low level networking to write my own packet sniffer / 
logger. I'm anxious to try to get a fully capable sniffing / stumbling 
/ cracking solution working on OS X so that I can package it up or at 
least write up some documents for other OS X users. I've found a set of 
perl scripts that seems to be able to do the wep cracking, but I have 
no raw packets to test it on as of yet...

Thanks :)
