Um. What makes your question tough to answer straight is that if you go to the web page you will find:
" Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.
"Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic."
and the wikipedia page which states:
"Kismet is a network detector, packet sniffer, and intrusion detection system for 802.11 wireless LANs. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode, and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g traffic. The program runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X. The client can also run on Windows, although, aside from external drones, there's only one supported wireless hardware available as packet source."
This is information you should have found yourself.
If you have not done so, I strongly recommend getting a knoppix or freesbie cd and use it to go surfing for "UNIX tutorials". Knoppix is Linux and Freesbie is FreeBSD however both are very well suited for practicing the examples you will get.
For Knoppix go to:
http://www.knoppix.com
for Freesbie
http://www.freesbie.org
and you may get your best results searching with:
http://www.google.com/bsd
End of lecture.
For the other question, this is a mix of home pages and reference:
