I have a Linksys WPC11 version 4. It appears to work in the new Knoppix 3.4 (yay!). I run wlcardconfig and configure everything (I think everything) and I can connect just fine.

I modified the kismet.conf file to use: source=hostap,eth0,hostapsource

and did an enablesources=hostapsource

When I try and run kismet_server I get the following:
... snip ...

Source 0 (hostapsource): Enabling monitor mode for hostap source interface eth0 channel 6...
FATAL: Failed to retrieve list of private ioctls 95:Operation not supported

Any ideas why this is happening? (and yes Im running it as root)
