i have had the hardest time with kismet....i cant figure out what the hell is going on....
is it my wifi card settings? my conf? my drivers? im so lost!
here is what i get when i try and run kismet...

FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'prism2' in source 'prism2,wlan0,prism2source'

What card type, driver and interface name are you using?

I get exactly the same message. I'm using a Prism2 card (Linksys) that's on wlan0. I set up kismet.conf for prism2, wlan0, prism2source.

I'm guessing my problem is that unlike 9.0, YaST originally set up the box with an orinoco driver on wlan0. I've tried to correct that with a kismet.conf config of orinoco, wlan0, orinocosource, but that yields an error of "no packetsources were enabled"

The only solutions I can think of are:
1) install prism2 drivers (if so, where do I get something that does't require a kernel recompile?)
2) buy and install an orinoco card

Surely there must be another option!

When I tail -f /ver/log/messages and unplug the Linksys card, I see the following:

linux_kernel: prism2_cd.o: 0.2.1-pre20 Unloaded
Linux_kernel: p80211.o 0.2.1-pre20 Unloaded

And upon reinserting the card:

linux kernel: Prism2 Card SN: <serial number>
linux kernel: dot11req_reset: the macaddress and setdefaultmib arguments are currently unsupported
