[...] I applied this patch, and kismet seems to work now, but after using kismet my wifi card sometimes goes into a seizure. During the kernel build, I noticed some warnings when the wireless drive was being compiled; the lines are attached to the end of this message. The PowerBook won't even shut down, it just closes X and goes to console mode printing a message I failed to write down message endlessly. The next time it happens I'll write it down.
Also, I noticed that (prior to running kismet and the wifi freaking out) iwlist scanning does not work:
$ sudo iwlist eth1 scanning eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported
Is there any additional tweaking or configuration in /etc/network/interfaces in order to enable the use of iwlist in this manner? With that support compiled in, does it have to be explicitly switched on? I think waproamd needs it to be.
