From the Kismet FAQ:

Q: Will Kismet work with Linuxant or NDISwrapper drivers?
A: No. These wrappers use the Windows drivers, which don't support rfmon.
Until there are native drivers with rfmon support, Kismet won't work with these cards.

This is from the nidswrapper faq:

Quote:

Support for ndis6 is being added at this time. When that is complete, with Windows vista drivers, these features should be available in ndiswrapper.

From the limited postings I've seen so far, support for ndis6 isn't there yet.
