No monitor .... no Kismet....
Do I have to patch this dirver, or rebuild a kernel?

Code:
root@away2:~# apt-cache search orinoco
hostap-source - Host AP driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3
kismet - Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool
wavemon - Wireless Device Monitoring Application
orinoco - Orinoco and Prism 2 wireless card driver with monitor support

root@away2:~# apt-get install  orinoco

orinoco is already the newest version.
