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

Kiddie porn? 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
*all* protocols were 7 layers like TCP/IP and UDP (correct me if I'm
wrong).

Thanks, Blake

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:
http://home.comcast.net/~jay.deboer/airsnare/
will see you instantly.

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:

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

5 layer:
http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/tcpip/ [...] layers.htm

However, there are additional layers not shown. The missing layers
are "user", "money", "politics", and "religion". The user layer is
responsible for reducing the reliability sufficiently to justify my
profession. The money layer is designed to restrict growth and
reliability in a controlled manner. The political and religous layers
are responsible for generating broadcast storms and usenet
discussions, which are uniquely identified by their lack of payload or
content.
