With the highest, kismet crashes the PCMCIA driver looking like something&#8217;s failing and the card isn&#8217;t able to handle data that fast. Anything in between I can&#8217;t get to flash for some reason. So, I thought I&#8217;d try the absolute latest PCMCIA card services. Installed those, didn&#8217;t help. Installed the original version that I was using (3.2.1), rebooted, now the box core dumps every time it goes to load the PCMCIA stuff. But only with the kernel that I made. I think I need to somehow get in there and rip out all the PCMCIA stuff and start over. It wasn&#8217;t hard to make it work, I can do it again. However, I want it to just work.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully tomorrow I&#8217;ll be able to get the card flashed to a known-working firmware level with a Windows 2000 notebook at work. I hope. I don&#8217;t want to have to install 2K to fix things here. Gah, all I want is kismet to work so I can keep going on the rest of this project. <pout>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I finally got the wireless stuff working under Linux.
