Kismet Problems


I've been trying to run kismet for a while now with no luck. I put my card, which works great in airsnort, in monitor mode, run kismet, and here is what I get

Done. Run kismet_unmonitor or eject and re-insert your card (or restart your
pcmcia services) to return your card to normal operation.


The card I have is a proxim 8420 Gold card using the wlags49_h2_cs drivers. Is it possible to use this with kismet?
