Kismet, ipw2200, and wireless injection
To get Kismet to run under the ipw2200 driver, simply edit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf. Here is the diff -u output:

I have not gotten wireless injection to work with aircrack-ng or any of the other wifi tools. I came across this thread which details how to get injection to work using a modified ipw2200 driver. I am using Ubuntu (kill me?) and this thread might be helpful as well.. I started following steps without reading them all first and ended up deleting some ieee80211 modules I had trouble later tracking down. Note to self: backup any files that may get deleted before attempting anything new.

I am pretty sure that the Auditor pen-testing cd had good support for ipw2200, but I can’t seem to find it available anywhere now (turned into BackTrack). It comes with various books and someone near you might have a copy? BackTrack 1 (not the latest version) was good about this support as well, I think. I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure I was able to get injection working on an ipw2200 card about a year ago… I can’t get it to work now with BackTrack2…
