Getting Karma working can be a pain.  Karma relies on modified madwifi kernel modules.  Kernel modules need to be compiled against the source of the running kernel.  Karma is a 2006 package that listens for wireless probe attempts (usually from laptops) and broadcasts SSID responses back.  So if you are looking for "Free WIFI"  or linksys, karma becomes those.  Karma is a hack, not well maintained but a blast once you get working.  Once clients connect to karma it does a number of things:
1) dhcp server assigns private address space by default 169.254..
2) starts dns and reports back to clients all dns to itself
3) starts web server (from which you could have you webslice hacks or outlook web portal or ...)
4) starts a samba server (with modded samba all smb shares point back to you)
5) starts ftp server
Karma is written in ruby and does external calls to the services
This blog has some details on getting good old karma working again

It looks like HD Moore (metasploit developer) has a mod.  And I always thought karma and metasploit would complement each other ...

Jim's blog also has some good details on getting all this working on the EEE pc, as well as a little hardware mod for a wireless antenna.

This would be lethal with ip_forwarding enabled and dsniff running...
