[kismac] Re: Drivers problem

It is theoretically possible, however it's highly unlikely with your rt73 stick. It has standard output power (probably 30 mW) and has a crummy antenna design. For the record, Wi-Fi is intended to be used at some distance; anything less than 3 m (10') is susceptible to overloading the RF input stage of any device, causing at the very least garbled data and in the worst case hardware damage may occur. At those distances, you should just use a cable.
I've covered the topic four times in the last two months on the forums: <http://forum.kismac-ng.org/search.php?keywords=damage&terms=all&author=Fish&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search >

p.s.: It's an AirPort Extreme card, not "aircrard." The best source of KisMAC information is always going to be our wiki first, and our forums second. Stuff changes a lot....

You don't need to turn off your Airport card if you're using an external device. 
Just an FYI.

Uninstall the Ralink drivers.
http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/RTUSB%20D70-1.1.3.0%20D71W-1.1.7.0%20UI-1.3.0.0_2006_11_10.dmg
You can find a DMG there for the device which includes an uninstaller. 
You'll probably need to restart your computer.
Launch KisMAC.
Go to preferences.
Select the rt73 driver (your device has an rt73 chipset).
Exit prefs.
Try to scan.
If that doesn't work, repeat the steps after deleting the KisMAC preference files. ~/Library/Preferences/de.binaervarianz.kismac.plist OR ~/Library/ Preferences/com.kismac-ng.kismac.plist OR ~/Library/Preferences/ org.kismac-ng.kismac.plist (where '~' is your home folder) 

Should fix it.
