Hi!
I got a Netgear WG511T which has an Atheros chipset and now trying to get Kismet to work with it.
First after I insert the card I kill all athX-interfaces, and start kismet:
# kismet -c madwifing_g,wifi0,my
Client options: none
Starting server...
Will drop privs to nobody (65534) gid 65533

Does anyone got any idea? Please help!
P.S.: the cart is able to work in monitor mode, airodump works fine.
