The main reason why we don't have support for the aironet cards is because I 
don't have access to one. If anyone is interested in either working on this 
or donating/loaning a card to me we might be able to get some aironet support 
going. I'd additionally like to eventually provide aironet support for the 
monitor mode features with dstumbler v1.0.

I haven't personally tried out any of the Zcomax cards, so I can't make any 
guarantees, but I'm pretty sure it'll work (all of the prism2 based cards 
I've seen so far have).

We're also currently working on making dachb0den a non-profit organization, 
so we can accept non-taxible donations and such, if anyone would be 
interested in getting some tax relief and helping out the project, please 
contact me off list and I'll see if we can work something out.

Thanks,
