Knoppix Newbie trying to load some wardriving software?

[..]
Anyway, my question: I cannot seem to get my Orinoco Gold card in to Monitor mode. Does anyone know what I have to do to make it work? How to patch the Orinoco driver?

I have this very same problem. It seems there's indeed a file that still needs to be patched, though, it's read-only... Could use some assistance with this...

wardriving isnt a crime at all
by law....its not illegal to map any ISM band devices location via any means eg. triangulation or transmitted beacon (war driving)
802.11b is an ISM band

the fact you called him a cracker for this tells me your an idiot who really doesnt understand knoppix anyway since it includes wardriving software

--Heh; yep, this is why the Slashdot crowd has the whole "hacker vs cracker" debate every so often. (Hacker = whitehat / greyhat, cracker = blackhat.)

--I guess I'm a bit sensitive even tho I don't run wireless; my server was being used without my authorization a couple of months ago for anon FTP storage, and I had to lock it down.

Perhaps everyone should visit the NetStumbler forums:

As you will see, compromising networks is taboo discussion in the forums and will get you banned. The people there drive and map for the fun of the discoveries.

It is like going on an African safari with a camera instead of a gun.

Hrmmmmm

Klause included Kismet in Knoppix, perhpaps he should be arrested for aiding criminals?

Perhaps the author of Kismet should be arrested for aiding criminals?

Perhaps YOU should be arrested for being a though criminal!

Why is using kismet a crime??? Why is using a software that pick up signals off the air a crime... if you don't want people to pick it up then don't broadcast it or at least encrypt it!!!!

BTW there are other legit uses for kismet as well....
