Is anyone using AirPcap?

I'm sure many of the people on this site are using (or have used) AirPcap.

If so what version?

Mostly Nx.

How does it work, good, bad?

good/bad in terms of what? In general its rather good.

What else can you tell me about it?

well, it's best to retrieve whatever you are interested from the product page yourself: http://www.riverbed.com/de/products/cascade/wireshark_enhancements/airpcap.php

Will it work with other programs besides wireshark?

Yes. Some open source tools are know to work with it (BackTrack Linux, Aircrack-ng) as well as commercial tools (Riverbed Pilot, Metageek, etc.).
