The problem is that Apple groups the two drivers they provide, even
though they are totally different code for totally different
technology. It's not that Viha conflicts with the Broadcom driver,
it's that Apple won't load the Aiport Driver without the Airport
Extreme driver (and vice-versa), and Viha can't co-exist with the
original Apple Airport driver.
For the Airport Extreme driver, KisMAC can only use it in active
mode, because the OS native driver is being used, as opposed to a a
custom driver.
it's probably the card you think it is. but i got the apple driver
to unload.
You can get them to load/unload as a pair, but you can't get them to
load/unload separately.
What I'm seeing now is that the External Broadcom g card is being used
to surf the internet, and the internal b card, is used by Kismac to do
a passive scan.
So as my logic goes, without even looking at any code ;), it appears
that you can load different drivers. So in theory you should be able to
select the device used for scanning.
