ok well my questions were solely based on the 26 kernel, but thanks for the answer. It looks like you are right 2.6 is not patched yet.

but even with the patched 2.4kernel I have NEVER been able to get airsnort to work. Kismet use to work in 3.3, but not in 3.4 but I'm sure it is due to the config file. can that affect airsnort?

NEWBIE question: how do I change the kismet.config since it is burned on the cd (I don't use a hardware install yet)? Do I have to remaster it?

I'm more concerned about airsnort then kismet as I have never been able to make it work!

thanks,
Booty
