I really need the signal information to be shown (Signal, SNR), and I cant seem to get it displayed. I added it in the columns section of the Kismet_ui.conf file, and also enabled it via the GUI.

Also, FYI, I posted something before and got a response from dragorn that the wireless card was ancient and to get a better one. However, I was under the impression that kismet didn't work well with anything but older cards? Would a Linksys USB wireless card really work since it's so new?
