It might interest people here that Kismet is no longer a Linux-only software. There is now KisWin... http://www.renderlab.net/projects/wrt54g/kiswin.html
The caveat is it requires a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS or similar to perform the scanning (as a wireless receiver), and the Windows PC displays the output. One should avoid WRT54G version 5 (serial numbers starting with CDFB) (it has half the flash and ram as earlier versions (2mb/8mb), and runs VxWorks) and latest WRT54GS (serial numbers starting with CGN60) (it has half the flash and ram as before (4mb/16mb)). BTW, linksysinfo.org has a review article that compares all the versions of the WRT54G's.
