Don't really see why it'd make a difference really, there's nothing
specific to either that'd really affect anything, seeing as I've
compiled my own kernel/pcmcia/kismet independent of debian packages.
(Unless GCC 3.2 gives 25% more wifi power!)

Haha, god no. I don't use an airport card, only the orinico card so I
don't use the viha driver anyway (the other one kismac ships with, viha
wouldn't work).
Not with Linux, with OS X. The only reason I dual boot Linux on my
powerbook *is* because of kismet, but I can give that a big boot up the
backside now.
The only other OS X drivers for the orinoco cards in the pcmcia slot
are the WirelessDriver ones from sourceforge, and they're incomplete -
WEP doesn't work properly, you can't automatically scan for SSID's, and
it tends to crash OS X with a restart screen randomly. Not to mention
no RFMON mode.
