I have successfully set up kismet to work with my orinoco based card after a little bit of driver patching. However, when I try to capture packets directly from the wireless interface, all I get are SLL packets, and I get a console error saying something like: "arptype 802 not supportted by libpcap - falling back to linux cooked socket". I read some of the Ethereal faqs and it says that capturing raw 802.11 packets on an orinoco card is supported but that I must patch libpcap with some patches writen by Solomon Peachy....? Well anyways I have tried to find these patches but have had no luck. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
