The PCMCIA services do not need to be upgraded within the Fedora operating system in order to load the new ORiNOCO drivers.
The ORiNOCO and Hermes drivers need to be patched to enable monitor mode so that Kismet will work.
The ORiNOCO patches are available from the Shmoo Web site at http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html.
If everything was patched correctly, the iwpriv <interface> command will display that the monitor option is available.
The Linux wlan-ng drivers are designed to allow Prism 2–based cards to enter monitor mode. These drivers are available from www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/.
A flaw in Fedora causes the installation of the wlan-ng drivers to effectively break the PCMCIA service. Therefore, you’ll need to edit the /etc/init.d/pcmcia file.
Once the Linux wlan-ng drivers are installed, your Prism 2–based card will work with Kismet.
The current, stable version of Kismet is 4.0.1.
Kismet can be downloaded from www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml.
The installation of Kismet is a very straightforward process involving only three steps:
./configure
make dep
make install
After Kismet is installed, the configuration files must be edited to include your system’s configuration information before Kismet can be used.
