[ltp] T43 Kismet fails

[James Knott]

I've recently installed openSUSE 11.4 and Kismet on a ThinkPad T43, with 
the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG WiFi adapter.  One thing I've noticed is 
that neither Kismet nor Netstumbler (Windows) work.  These apps are used 
to scan WiFi to see whats around and provide details.  In Kismet, I get 
an error message:

"Kismet Server Failed
Locally started Kismet server exited unexpectedly
  with error 0.  Something has gone wrong.  Check
the Kismet server console for more information
and errors."

Both apps run fine on my R31 with another Intel WiFi card (2200 IIRC).

Any ideas?

tnx jk
