Orninoco kismet Fedora core 2

Hey I'm still alive! (new baby takes priority)

OK I installed Fedora Core 2 and fixed the PCMCIA problem now I need to get monitor working on my Orinoco card. Reading this nifty guide http://www.tipsybottle.com/technolog...et-HOWTO.shtml

I see that shmoo has the monitor mode patch. Well 2 problems I want to use the latest dgibson orinoco driver 0.15rc2 and shmoo says:
http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html
The orinoco drivers now suppport monitor mode in CVS. Monitor mode is now handled via the iwconfig interface. Prism headers are not available.

So does that mean I don't have to patch them (0.15rc2)?

Even after doing a make && make install in the orinoco-0.15rc2 directory, dmesg says I'm using version 0.13e (hmm, odd).

So, take a look at that guide and maybe you figure out what I'm doing wrong?

I figure when the baby is cranky as long as I'm in the car driving I might as well be wardriving.

Solved

Forgot a crucial step
As root, backup your old driver modules somewhere: (replace x with your current kernel version)
cp -R /lib/modules/2.6.x/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ wireless.bak/
Copy newly compiled modules into your current kernel's module directory:
cp orinoco_cs.ko orinoco.ko hermes.ko /lib/modules/2.6.x/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
Shut down interface, remove old modules and insert new ones:
ifconfig eth1 down && rmmod orinoco_cs orinoco hermes
