Probably for the best. Kismet wont work under windows because the program puts the card into a mode in which it recieves every wireless packet in the air - not just ones meant for it. This is how the program works - it picks up every packet and sifts useful information from them. Kismet won't work under windows because, with windows, the card can only read packets meant for it. Windows cannot be used to indescriminatly grab packets from the air; ergo kismet wont work. Stick with netstumbler - it's much easier to work.
