kismet requires special drivers to scan, but if you figure that winxp comes with a simple interface for this built-in, it's kinda depressing that we can't seem to build a good tool that can do that, list the available networks, and give a good connect to them..

currently using a dell truemobile 1150 pcmcia, and fedora core 2... kernel is 2.6.8-521.. off the top of my head, I think that's right, but is there a universal solution? that's the real question...
