Will drop privs to dustin (1000) gid 100 No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled. Enabling channel hopping. Enabling channel splitting. Source 0 (ath0src): Enabling monitor mode for madwifi_g source interface ath0 channel 6... FATAL: Failed to retrieve list of private ioctls 7:Argument list too long I suspected first that the error was connected to the upgrate to kernel 2.6.16-suspend2-r4. So I tried 2.6.15-suspend2-r8. Here as well the same output. I am using the madwifi-ng driver version 0.1443.20060207.

You'll need net-wireless/kismet-2006.04.1 for madwifi-ng support. If the problem persists in that version, please reopen this bug report.
kismet-2006.04.1 works fine.Thanks.
