I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Does it mean which 802.11 standards Kismet can sniff on the target network, or just in general? I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the capabilities of the Kismet wireless sniffer. I'll need to carefully review the IEEE 802.11 standards to determine which ones Kismet can sniff.

Easy peasy! Kismet can sniff all the major 802.11 standards, including 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. I'm confident I can get this one right.

This question looks pretty straightforward. I think the key is to remember that a Veritas cluster file system requires some special options for both creating and mounting the file system.
