Do you mean a 2.4.16 kernel?  Because that is what is typically suggested
for that kind of work.  I personally like 2.4.18

(Sufficiently recent versions of) Linux or (sufficiently recent versions
of) FreeBSD, actually.  The FAQ item at

http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q4.21

says you need

Linux, with a 2.4.6 or later kernel

or

FreeBSD 4.5 or later.

Ethereal (like tcpdump, and other programs using libpcap/WinPcap) is at
the mercy of the device drivers and the rest of the OS for
packet-capture services.

Ethereal on other platforms can *read* 802.11 captures taken with other
platforms or with some other applications, but it can't *itself* capture
on 802.11 devices.
