After hours of trial and error, I finally have Kismet, GPSDrive, Ethereal, and
my Orinoco drivers (which now go into RF Monitor mode) working in perfect harmony.


But I would have saved A LOT of time had I seen this earlier:

Also, I did buy the Deluo GPS USB unit (http://www.deluo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DE&Product_Code=GPSU&Category_Code=GR)

There's a serial version was well, but if you're on a PC it makes more sense to get that version of the product (you need to be using COM ports 1-4 for the included Rand McNally mapping software to work properly -- but on my PC my USB ports map to COM 5).
