Fedora version, latest "stable", doesn't work fine. It is unable to detect a lot of networks, and it shows a lot of errors: [...] [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 4/2427 on interface [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 4/2427 on interface [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 8/2447 on interface [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 8/2447 on interface [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 12/2467 on interface [SERVER] ERROR: mac80211_setchannel() could not set channel 12/2467 on interface [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [SERVER] 'wlan0mon' err -16 [...] git version of kismet works *flawlessly* : https://www.kismetwireless.net/gitweb/?p=kismet.git git clone https://www.kismetwireless.net/kismet.git
Is the version I just built in rawhide any better for you?

This bug appeared after updating kernel to 3.6, the same happens in airmon-zc (see bug 881342). Updated kernel pushed to all stable releases, so kismet and aircrack-ng also needs to be fixed in stable releases.
