Kismet will not run in 10.1 beta 1 on Dell 700m laptop with ipw2200 centrino wireless.

I get the following error trying to execute kismet_server:
Source 0 (default): Enabling monitor mode for ipw2200 source interface eth1 channel 6...
FATAL: Failed to set monitor mode: Invalid argument.  This usually means your drivers either do not support monitor mode, or use a different mechanism for getting to it.  Make sure you have a version of your drivers that support monitor mode, and consult the troubleshooting section of the README.


Monitor mode worked properly on same hardware running older kernel on different distribution
