Because Kismet works with just about any card you can throw at it, including cards that you can't manually hop on (ie: Cisco, some others), these cards have a less suitable built in 'hopping' mode that tends to gravitate towards noisy channels (giving you a less accurate picture of what traffic there is in the area). Kismet simply listens on the interface for raw 802.11b frames, and goes from there. > > Mike Bresnahan > -- Matthew S.
