Help please! Orinoco classic gold/slackware10/kismet problem
I have been over and over different pages with instructions on how to install and update my Orinoco classic gold card drivers but with no success in running kismet.
When I go to /usr/src/bin and type kismet this is what I get:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@laptop:/usr/local/bin# kismet
Server options: none
Client options: none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before startuing UI...
Will drop privs to kismet (1000) gid 100
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
Source 0 (orinocosource): Enabling monitor mode for orinoco source interface eth1 channel 6...
FATAL: Could not find 'monitor' private ioctl or use the newer style 'mode monitor' command. This typically means that the drivers have not been patched or the correct drivers are being loaded. See the troubleshooting section of the README for more information.
root@laptop:/usr/local/bin#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From my research I can tell that my orinoco drivers need to be patched.
I think this is where I am having the problem.
I did not install any drivers for my Orinoco card because with running Slackware 10 I noticed I already have pcmcia-cs-3.2.7
So I visit http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html
and download the pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-orinoco-patch.diff to my /usr/src/linux-2.3.26/drivers/net/wireless
Then I type #patch -p1 < pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-orinoco-patch.diff (the file I downloaded)
This is what I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@laptop:/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/drivers/net/wireless# patch -p1 < pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-orinoco-patch.diff

I dont like the line "Hunk #1 FAILED at 458" but I tried to run kismet again and I get the same message as the first one above.
Any help would be great help to me right now. I have looked over every page out there trying to get this to work over the weekend and none have provided me with the instructions I need.
Here is some more info I hope would provide assistance:

My LAN card that is built-in on my laptop is the 00:08:74:9C:F1:46
My Orinoco classic gold wireless card is 00:02:2D:BE:FA:2D
What am I doing wrong?
Thank You!

Okay I fixed my error above. Only to get a new error now.
Here is what I did to fix it.
I followed these two websites together while installing my wireless card drivers.
http://www.michiganwireless.org/tool...aneKismet.html
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp...A-HOWTO-1.html
I even downloaded and installed the pcmcia-cs-3.2.7 drivers that were already on my system. Just so I did not miss anything.
Everything installed perfectly and after I did a reboot my wireless card was tested and detected just fine.
Ill post back if I have trouble fixing this next error.
FATAL: channel get ioctl failed 95:Operation not supported
Thanks

okay I fixed this last error I was getting. I would type in /usr/local/bin/ and type #kismet
I would get this error at the bottom:
FATAL: channel get ioctl failed 95:Operation not supported
I noticed that my kismet.conf file in /usr/local/etc said
source=orinoco,eth1,orinocosource
My LAN is on my eth1 and my wireless is on eth0
so i changed it to say eth0 instead.
now it works
