Airsnort works with cisco cards. Check Airsnort site:
http://airsnort.shmoo.com/
and read requirments:

 "Get your drivers working! To do this you may need one or more of the
following

    * Kernel source
    * PCMCIA CS package
    * wlan-ng package
    * Orinoco driver patches"

I think you need wlan-ng package installed.

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.
