Being Invisible & cards for Mandrake

The DLINK should work with Linux using ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net) that uses the XP drivers. ndiswrapper has WPA support also.

Why would you want to do that?

In short, no unless you can rewrite both the spec for the ethernet protocols otherwise you're going to have a bit of a job if you want to communicate with the AP since your MAC address must be known by the AP.

You're also confusing the terminology, a WAP (you mean an Access Point presumably?) isn't a router.

An AP isn't interested in layer 3 protocols anyway so doesn't even know about your IP address. The router on the other hand by definition is a layer 3 device so *must* know about your IP address.

If you're trying to download kiddie p*rn or send spam, just drive to the nearest open AP and don't spend too long connected.

Kiddie p*rn? If I wanted that I would use proxie servers and not care about the wireless router Spam? Why not just use nmap to find open ports (25) and find the easiest one to hack, then send my spam.

Dude, you go me so wrong. I'll come clean though. Sneario: College undergrad, Internet been down for a long time and not getting fixed for a long time.

I'm using my neighbors bandwith to do my online homeworks (and post to usnet groups) without their knowledge of course.

That's why I wanted to know if it was possible. I had figured that the AP *had* to know my mac and IP address. How would it know which machine the packets belonged to????

Just try not making premature judgements on my character w/o proper information, it's ludacris. Anyways, thanks for the info, I thought

Thanks, Blake

thanks johnny, I'll give that a shot

Nope. You have to be in the routers ARP table in order to use the router. You could easily hide the computer name by turning off all server broadcasts and block NETBIOS ports. However, the MAC address will be in all wireless packets (bridging) between you and the wireless access point. The IP addresses will be encapsulated inside the 802.11 packets. Fire up Ethereal and see for yourself.

A program like AirSnare:

Good plan. I'm partial to Novell/Suse 9.3 this week.

As others have suggested, NDISWrapper should work. Hmmm... not listed in the chipset directory:

I chose two examples, what you're doing is still illegal. :)

TCP/IP is a 4 layer model.

The only thing that you *can* do is clone the MAC address of your neighbours client machine.

Hey, he's still in college - he hasn't got that far yet :-)

Host to Network is one layer. :)

Yep, been there.
