Hello, I see two possibities now. 1st: did you start kismet as root or as normal user, because the message locks much like the one I get every time I start kismet as normal user and not root.
2nd: Because of this line FATAL: Invalid source line 'prism2_hostap,wlan0' I think it could also be an error in /etc/kismet/kismet.conf. There has to be a line which says: source=prism2_hostap,wlan0,Kismet and to me this FATAL: ... says there's only a line source=prism2_hostap,wlan0 I hope this helps apropos driver: I searched a bit in the net and found that the MA401 works just fine with the hostap-driver so that's nearly shure not a problem.
