Orinoco classic gold and kismet.conf

Aloha, 

I have an Orinoco Classic Gold (firmware 8.72.1) hooked up to a
FreeBSD 5.3-Release. I've gotten kismet-200506.r1 to install (after
patching the thing), but I don't know how to set my kismet.conf file.
There is the orinoco and orinoco_14 option for the capture source but
when i put it in i got this:

-for orinoco_14
FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'orinoco_14' in source
'orinoco_14,wi0,kismet'

-for orinoco source
FATAL: Support for capture source type 'orinoco' was not built.  Check
the output from 'configure' for more information about why it might
not have been compiled in.

Now I've been looking on the net (2 weeks now) and realize that you
have to load the appropriate driver to get it working with kismet.
Most that I've found are from linux forums, where the driver is
located at usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless.

So can someone please tell me where the driver is located and how do I
load it (loading it in /boot/loader.conf)? Or better still how to get
kismet working with an orinoco classic gold on a FBSD-5.3-release?

Regards,
