Ghaith, i have 2 Cisco WLAN cards. The Aironet 350 (AIR-PCM350) is
cisco chipset (which is basically prism2 on steroids). The Aironet
802.11a/b/g (AIR-CB21AG-E-K9) is atheros chipset.
The most obvious thing to look for is atheros chipset makes /dev/ath0
and cisco makes /dev/wlan0.

The book is excellent. I bought it last summer and reference it regularly.
Cheers, Chris
