Hi,

basically, u want to get pcmcia-cs tar, and kernal src, and wlan-ng. pop the lot out in /usr/src

first, expand the kernal into /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig and the usual compile etc. copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage into /boot and rejig your /etc/lilo.conf file so it can see the new kernel. then go to /usr/src/wlan-ng and compile / make and do the same for pcmcia-cs. You'll want to make sure u dont use the kernel pcmcia drivers, but use the external pcmcia-cs ones.

once you have this done, monitor /var/log/messages with a tail -f and put your wlan card in. you should see messages indicating it's support has been loaded.

Next, get Kismet, extract the tar, and make dep / make / make install etc.

then run prism2_hopper &
run kismet.
