Nothing ventured nothing gained. I had a lot of problems with the 2 beta
version, which I am now putting down to a corrupted burning of the iso.
I don't have your laptop but I do have a couple of Atheros based cards.
Try doing this:
1.open the "console" in BackTrack
2.type wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
press enter.
3.type ifconfig ath0 up press enter.
4.type kismet -c madwifing_g,wifi0,madwifing_g press enter
Kismet should now start.
