> eth0: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 6.06

I'm running Kismet on a Dell with integrated Ethernet (eth0) and miniPCI
Dell/Orinoco Gold (eth1) with firmware 8.72.

The patch was tested with firmware 7.52, you might want to update the card's
firmware to at least 7.52.

Haven't seen that, which takes me back to my firmware suggestion.

On my notebook I've got to shutdown network services that are bound to eth1
(my wireless card). I've added the following to /usr/bin/kismet_monitor
(Gentoo Linux):

echo "stopping network services"
/etc/init.d/netmount stop
/etc/init.d/samba stop
/etc/init.d/sshd stop
/etc/init.d/vron stop

Without that the first service to hit eth1 will shoot CPU utilization up to
100% and logs fill up with "eth1: Error -5 writing packet to BAP" messages.

Hope that helps.

Brian
