can U tell me how to configure the source line in the kismet.conf for my acx100?
source=acx100,wlan0,acx100_source does not seem to run :-(
device name is wlan and
my module is acx100.
the problem is the config parameter i give kismet.
kismet -c acx100,wlan0,acx100_source
it finds wlan0, but not acx100....
so i need that parameters correctly!
iwconfig is right!
only the params of kismet itself!
yes, that was default...
but as i told you, i use an acx100 driver / module for my card.
by testing kismet_unmonitor, it tells me: Unknown card type 'acx100'. Doing nothing.
why do you not believe?!
after booting and loading the driver successfully, i tried it:
(i am sure it is running correctly, because i can ping to my other local friends... but i can not use kismet on this way :-( => to scan etc)

Done. Run kismet_unmonitor or eject and re-insert your card (or restart your
pcmcia services) to return your card to normal operation.
