[Soekris] Running Kismet on 4511

[bhighsmith@att.net]

Thanks for the advice; that helps. I don't yet have a Linux kernal selected 
for the board.  I'm looking for any advice on selecting one that will grease 
the path to running the Kismet application (the main application) on the 
4511. 

Advice on a wifi card for which there is a driver for this environment would 
be appreciated. For now, 802.11b is fine (Kismet limitation).  I'd like the 
ability to select the rate under SW control if possible, including the older 
rates (such as 1 Mb/s).

Again, thanks.
