If you read up on the kismet site (http://www.kismetwireless.net/) along with another wireless auditing site (http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=tutorial) You can learn about how it works and how to test your own wireless security ;) Sounds like your wireless card does not support a monitor or promiscuous mode that can be activated in OS X (atm). Try and figure out if it can. Since this is no security auditing forum, that's all I will tell you; you can learn more via those sites where you got the software from and google.

First of all, I'm new here and my name is victor, hi!

OnT:
I have a macbook and I was wondering what kind of (cheap?) external USB card I could get to be able to check my security on my WEP protected network. (:D)

I have KisMac and the only thing missing is a working card.

Please help :)

I use this software installed on a virtual Linus machine using VMware:

...with this USB network adapter:

Works great!

Can your network adapter perform injections and such? Any downsides?
