Toshiba Satellite laptop, integrated rtl8197. Got a patched 8187b driver from
the aircrack people but can't make it go WPA, only sees WEP.
Anyone know how to make this one fly?
If not: ExpressCard 54 slot present, can someone recommend a good wifi card
for that that works out of the box?

(2.6.22-4 backports kernel is installed)

It is difficult to help you if you do not give any details about what
you tried already. Step 1 for WPA is "install the wpa-supplicant package
and read its documentation". Did you do that?

(It is not even clear if your question is about normal WPA access or
about using aircrack for, let's say, "extraordinary" access.)

wpa-supplicant installed, read across the docs quickly (closer look as soon as
I have access to the laptop in question again).
Wrote a wpa-supplicant.conf and fired up wpa-supplicant, tried -Dwext for
starters since I really wouldn't know what else. No luck here.

Ah, ok: all I want is plain wifi, no fancy stuff like aircrack. Reason I
talked to the aircrack people was they usually have their hands on beta
drivers a tad earlier. Like I said, can probe it, works, scans WEP APs.
Don't have the laptop around right now, anything in particular apart from the
supplicant docs I should look at?
