I've installed Kismet from the currnet sources on two
older laptops.  Using FreeBSD 6.2 and an Orinoco Gold 
Classic.  This combination works fine with Kismet if 
I disable channel hopping.  If I enable hopping it
only sees a few packets than stops hearing.

If I set the defaultchannels to multiple instances of
the same channel as the initial channel, it will still
work if channelhop=true.  The suggests the problem only
occurs if thechannel number is changed.

The card works fine for regular wireless access.

The same card on a slightly newer laptop running Ubuntu
Linux Breezy works properly, including channel hopping.
