I have my orinoco gold working with both airsnort and kismet w/ 8.72
firmware on Slackware. Even got it to use kismet_monitor correctly. It may
be a bit lengthy but sounds like you should be able to conquer everything,
here we go.

1. Go get a the newest kernel source, im using 2.4.22-ac3 but ive
consistantly gotten it to work on any ive tried since .19.

2. Grab the patch for wireless extensions v16 and apply it to your kernel
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/iw241_we16-6.diff

3. After you patch up those 4 files go ahead and copy
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/wireless.h to /usr/include/linux/wireless.h or
equivalents (i dunno if this goes against the age old base includes need to
match which sources the libraries where built against but its needed to
compile the most recent wireless tools)

4. Under general setup in your kernel make sure you have support for hot
pluggable devices disabled and under network device support -> wireless LAN
you just have Wireless LAN enabled, dont choose any drivers as the pcmcia
package seems to work better. Recompile your kernel modules lilo reboot
etc.

5. Install the most recent wireless tools
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/wireless_tools.26.tar.gz
if the extensions got placed correctly it should compile and install fine.

6. Grab the most recent pcmcia-cs package
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/ (3.2.5 right now) untar it and
leave it alone for a sec

7. Get the most recent orinoco drivers
http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/orinoco-0.13e.tar.gz and patch them
for monitor mode http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinoco-0.13e-patch.diff

8. Copy *.c and *.h into the pcmcia-cs-3.2.5/wireless dir

9. Go ahead and run ./Configure in the pcmcia dir and get that all set up,
should be easy enough. Get the pcmcia service up and running

At this point the card should be found. man iwconfig should get you from
here. I have mine working fine w 128bit encryption the only stipulation was
i couldnt get shared key working, i had to use open, if you get anywhere on
this id like to know. I have this working with airsnort but for kismet you
need to use a special driver http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinoco_hopper.c i
believe you just replace orinoco.c but i never really tried it. I didnt
want to have the hassle of 2 different modules so i just use net stumbler
under xp to locate networks and airsnort to crack. Hope this help
