Kismet
Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer. It is capable of sniffing using almost any wireless card supported in Linux, including Prism2 based cards supported by the Wlan-NG project (Linksys, Dlink, Rangelan, etc), cards which support standard packet capture via libpcap (Cisco), and limited support for cards without RF Monitor support.

One the tools that consistantly stays in my wireless testing toolbox, works with 802.11a,b,g and n so long as you have a compatible wireless card.
I found that the Atheros chipset to be one of the most Kismet friendly (next to the classic Orinoco Gold 802.11b card).
Additional to testing, Kismet can make an interesting wireless instrusion detection tool, logging any connections your (and others) wireless router.
Highly recommended tool for the wireless tester or intrusion analyst.
