Network Instruments offers the Cisco and Linksys line of adapters for resale.

Note for 802.11b: Most wireless 802.11b adapters are either based on the Cisco or Symbol chipsets. If your adapter is not listed here, please try either the Cisco or Symbol driver - one of these should work.

Note for 802.11a, 802.11a/b combo, 802.11a/b/g combo: Network Instruments wrote drivers for the Atheros chip set adapters. Any Atheros based chip set adapter should work. See linked documents above for specific adapters. For a complete listing (as of 8-19-2004) of Atheros supported adapters, please see our linked page.
