Airsnort can be temperamental. Kismet will actually make logs that airsnort 
can then process offline. I had to use "iwpriv wlan0 mode monitor 1" to get 
mine to work right. (PRISM2 hostap drivers)

ok, I've tried the auditor bootable cd, it works great on my vaio laptop. I
shut down the centrino wireless card, and inserted my cisco aironet 350.
During the boot, the cd recognizes the cisco card as "airo_cs", and I can
run kismet without a problem.
I've also tried airsnort, but I cannot manage to make it work. If I simply
select eth0 and other as driver, and press start, it returns me an error
about the monitor mode unset. So I open a shell and run "iwconfig eth0 mode
monitor", and retry. Airsnort does not give any error, but it cannot see my
home wlan (40bit wep), while kismet sees it. Also, monitor mode command in
the shell goes on running until I hit ctrl+C, and in the same time airsnort
gives me the error about monitor mode.
What's the problem? Is airsnort able to use a cisco card? Is the "other"
driver correct?
Thanks in advance,
Luca Dell'Oca.
