emacs kismet.conf not working??

tr0n · 08-31-2003

RH 7.2
WPC11 v.1
Gateway solo 2550

./configure --disable-setuid
make dep
make
make install
make suidinstall

Emacs kismet.conf to:

suiduser=thomas
source=prism2,wlan0,prism2source
*also tried source=prism2_legacy,wlan0,prism2source
*source=prism2,eth0,prism2source
*source=prism2,eth0,prism
gps=false

#kismet_monitor -H
#kismet_server

then I get:
Source 0 (ciscosource): using pcap to capture packets from eth0
Source 0 (ciscosource): Attempting to enter monitor mode
Enabling monitor mode for a cisco card on eth0

Why does kismet think I have a cisco card?

on the #kismet_monitor -H command, what is it supposed to spit out?
I always get:
kismet_monitor - kismet helper script called by kismet directly
kismet_monitor DEVICE TYPE

After i run kismet_monitor -H i do a

#iwpriv eth0
eth0 no private ioctls

So I have this nagging feeling that RH 7.2 does not ship with the right drivers??

Thanks in advance

What version of Kismet are you running? If it's 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, try putting your card into rfmon with: kismet_monitor eth0 prism2 and then run kismet

tr0n · 09-01-2003

version 3.0.1

#kismet_monitor eth0 prism2
/usr/local/bin/kismet_monitor: wlanctl-ng : command not found
/usr/local/bin/kismet_monitor: wlanctl-ng : command not found
/usr/local/bin/kismet_monitor: wlanctl-ng : command not found
/usr/local/bin/kismet_monitor: wlanctl-ng : command not found

I'll try to find out what this means. Oh well, kismet_monitor eth0 prism2 is one more piece to the puzzle. Thanks again!

Ok, are you running the commands as root?

tr0n · 09-01-2003

#kismet_monitor eth0 prism2 was run as root.

In the kismet documentation it says to use wlan0. Does this matter?

Oh yeah, if you're using wlan-ng you should try kismet_monitor wlan0 prism2.
