i am runnin openbsd-current and i ve installed kismet from the ports
the only change i did in the kismet.conf is the source=radiotap_bsd_b,ath0,scan

I run kismet, and it doesnt find any networks. It seems that it cant
capture any packets.
In paraller i run tcpdump -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO and still no
captures via tcpdump

If i run ifconfig -M ath0 , ifconfig finds networks and tcpdump also
reports the packets.
i also downloaded the latest stable-devel svn of kismet wireless and
still the same thing. No networks.

Do you have any idea why is that happening ?

(By the way i only want kismet just to show the rssi and noise level
in dbm because ifconfig wont show such details.

Thank you in advance.

Bellow there is a dmesg of my system
