Hello World

I am trying to run Airsnort to obtain the webkey of the wireless at
home. I am running Fedora core 2 (kernel 2.6.4) on Dell Inspiron 5100.
My wireless card is D-Link DWL-650+ and works fine under Fedora. I am
using the acx100 drivers for my wireless card.

However when I try running airsnort I get the following error

"wlanctl-ng: Operation not supported"

Infact when I try independently running the "wlanctl-ng" with
appropriate parameters I get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.
