BackTrack 2 how do I install airo driver to run Kismet??
Hey,
First up I'm 100% new to Linux and downloaded backtrack 2 to essentially run kismet off an old work laptop. Then strangely enough found myself reminiscing of my youth 20+ years ago of when I brought MS-DOS books to bed as a kid so I could play with my Dad's IBM PC....I've been using windows for the last 20 years but now want to try Linux.
Anyways, I've spent the last three day trying to set-up a dual boot with BT2 and XP2 on this laptop, gave up at 5.20 a.m. last night, I finally succeeded today (it was headwrecking at times but happy I've managed to do it) but now when I try to run kismet I get the following message below...

this I suspect (having trolled though Google) is because I need to install the driver for my network card (a Cisco AIR-PCM 352 (350 series), the driver I need to install is "airo" (which is already on BT2 "airo") the "locate airo" command worked on the shell Konsole.
My question is how do I install the driver (airo) onto the network card so I can run kismet ?
I'd appreciate any assistance, I'm a newbie with a capital N but guess everybody has to start from the begining at some point or another
P.S. I also have a second question, what is the best way to learn Linux, its an O/S with various distros, BT2 is based on Slax but I have no idea what command lines to use - I just blindly follow command lines I find on forum threads that I've googled.
P.P.S. Please remember I'm new to all of this and if pointed in the right direction I'll do the footwork myself to better learn about all of this...I've been corrupted by Microsoft far too long!
Cheers,
Corrisant
