Hi,

On my side, i'm using a 802.11b CF card. It's an Ambicom WL1100C-CF. 
It's working very good, using hostap kernel module, and WPA supplicant 
hostap driver. It supports monitor mode (for aircrack suite), and maybe 
packet injection.
A 802.11g seems useless unless your PDA have enough power to use 54MB/s

Regards,
Damien
