Barry,

sorry to reply so late.

The desktop entry is there and _kind of_ works. No useful scan results though.

/usr/bin/prismstumbler needs to be run with root privileges. Because it puts the card in promiscous mode.

I've tested with a Prism PCMCIA card and the hostap driver.

I must admit I'm not that much interested in `prismstumbler' as long as `kismet' works for me.
