I got my Broadcom bcm4311 (rev 02) working with Kismet in Ubuntu 9.10 finally.
Here are the following steps how I got it working.
To get Kismet running you need to get b43-fwcutter installed and not Broadcom STA Linux Driver as they donot support montoring mode.
Now in terminal type - sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Then type get the following package from - http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
Then type in terminal:
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod"
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o
Now you have got your b43 drivers properly configured.
Now get the latest version of kismet from www.kismetwireless.net (http://www.kismetwireless.net).
It would be a kismet.tar.gz package(something like that)
[DONOT USE sudo apt-get install kismet]
For configuring KISMET properly you need the following libralies and headers
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libcurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install libcap*
sudo apt-get install libnl-dev
Now type
tar -xzf kismet.tar.gz
cd kismet
./configure --enable-bcm4311
make deb
make
sudo make suidinstall
Then type sudo gedit /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf
In it edit the line "#ncsource=interface : option" to ncsource=wlan0:name=broadcom [Remove the # symbol]
Save it.
But for KISMET to detect wireless your Broadcom Card should be set to monitor mode.
For this :
Right Click on NetworkManager and uncheck Enable Wireless OPTION.
Then in terminal type : sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Then type : sudo kismet
Then Go by the options that follow and start the Kismet server.
