I downloaded the auditors security collection referenced in the article,
and burned it. It's a nice Knoppix runnable CD with a lot of networking
tools (surprise) along with Firefox and Konqueror browsers.
However, while it was able to recognize my Cisco 340 card, it couldn't
manage the Belkin FS06020 [the one that allegedly works with eCS - I've
never tried to find or install the drivers since the Cisco setup "ain't
broke"].
I played with a few of the tools, including spoofing my mac (and found
that this immediately made my WAP inaccessible, since I filter on MAC),
but without a second wireless computer (i.e. a working session) there
wasn't a lot to be done.
