    Oops let me rephrase that last comment, i had this method working with
    kismet and airsnort as of last year, but havent played with kismet lately.
    just recently i noticed the link to that orinoco driver so i dont know if
    the methods the 2 use have changed. It would seem if airsnort can work fine
    in monitor mode so could kismet but i thought i should throw the link in for
    good measure, try it out with the manually patched ones first.
