Thanks

Can you recommend any sites for Linux newbies thar will help me understand unpacking files and installing them.
Have you patched the orinoco driver with the monitor mode patch?? Do an iwpriv eth1 (eth1 being your interface for the orinoco card). The last line should be monitor. If so all you need to do is run kismet_monitor -H as root before launching kismet.
