Kismet error.

Hi,
I'm trying to get kismet to work, but I get this error:

[gudgip@localhost etc]$ sudo kismet
Launching kismet_server: /usr/bin/kismet_server
Will drop privs to gudgip (1000) gid 1000
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng)
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'rt61pci' in source 'rt61pci,wlan0,rt61pci'
Done.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

modules from rc.conf:

MODULES=(8139cp 8139too mii slhc rt2x00lib rt2x00pci rt61pci ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0 soundcore)

I'm using rt61pci as wireless card driver.

lspci:

And last but not least the kismet.conf:

networkmanagersleep=true
source=rt61pci,wlan0,rt61pci
gps=false

Thanks in advance,

Re: Kismet error.

You don't use name of the module as a capture source, you use their kismet assigned names, the list is here http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml

You need to install an RTFM interface.
