Kismet on the Santa Rosa chipset MacBook
I purchased my MacBook right after the release of the newer Santa Rosa chipset models in late 2007, and I have to say, it’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned. I moved to doing most of my security-related work on it, from my Latitude C400, much quicker than I expected. I’m very happy with it.

Updated OpenWRT on the Fon Fonera Notes
OpenWRT on the Fon Fonera is one of the most popular posts on this site, however there’s a few rough spots, as it’s more of a set of notes from my own personal experience rather than a polished How-to. There’s several places where someone might fall through the cracks if they’re not using a [...]
Hamsters really aren’t that much cooler than Ferrets

I just caught his post on SecurityFocus’s “basics” list, and have glanced over the text, and it looks to be a very well written introduction to 802.11 [...]
OpenWRT on the Fon Fonera
UPDATE : Brett Hoff and Russell Butturini have made some notes of their own to go with these notes, to clarify some of the things that have changed in newer versions of Kamikaze and the Fon, gotchas with non-Apache webservers, and a few other things you might have problems with. Those notes are available [...]
Tinkering with the IPW2200
The IPW2200 (Intel Pro Wireless) is a pretty nice Mini-PCI (not sure if there are any PCMCIA ones) wireless card that seems to have come in a lot of Dell laptops. The Inspiron 600M I used to use has one, and everything just worked in Linux both in terms of normal usage and monitor-mode [...]
