hi doc -

i also have the same issue - installing an older version solved my problem. Does anyone else have any idea why the latest version doesn't work well with the symbol cf ?

good luck!

Kismet requires a patched version of the spectrum and orinoco drivers (to enable monitor mode).  Also earlier versions of kismet 3.x didn't have a needed delay so  would confuse the card.

I think it was iwconfig or iwpriv to turn on monitor - if it doesn't work you need to update the driver.
