I've been trying to use kismac for a while and it isn't working for me. I keep getting the unable to detect wireless card message. I've read about Viha drivers but don't know how to do that. I have an Intel MacBook with a Airport Extreme Card. Any help you can give will help. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

On the new KisMac website (http://kismac.macpirate.ch/about.php) it states:
Supported hardware chipsets:
Apple Airport, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Extreme Atheros
I'm also wondering how to get this thing to work

That is odd seen as according to KisMac help:
"The Airport Extreme cards are based on a Broadcom Airforce (BCM4306) chipset, and there is currently no documentaion for these cards available. We do not think that they will ever release something, but we do not know for sure as they ignore all emails."
this was in a section specifically called "Why is there no passive support for Airport Extreme?"
Does anyone know of an equivalent to KisMac that is compatible with the above mentioned AE cards?/New Macbook 1.2 Intel core 2
Kismac can't connect to IP
well i can't et it to work either - good things never work!! ohhh how pessimistic ...
but there is no help out there for people who don't have time to turn of their wireless to reset everything - and want a "fast: way to recover their lost password! surely it should be hidden on the mac it's self somewhere? as it logs in in auto mode any way all the time!!!
any ideas!?
*problem - can't connect to kismac IP address 127.0.0 blablabla
-have chosen passive and active airport extreme modes
going to plug it in to the router and see what happens then
so much for ease of use

You can download the Backtrack live CD, and boot from it. It includes Kismet.
You can also install Kismet and Aircrack on OS X, which work better and are far better supported than Kismac.
With Kismet, you'll need to set it up correctly.
You go to the folder /usr/local/etc/, open the file kismet.conf, go to the line that starts with "source", and change it to "source=darwin,en1,airport_extreme"
