Kismet Hopper problem........

I compiled and configured kismet just fine and it works great..... but only for a few seconds. I can find access points and anything you would normally be able to but it eventually craps out after a little bit and i get this error:
FATAL: Error setting orinoco channel using private ioctl: Connection timed out.
Kismet_hopper shutting down.


what could be causing this?
I'm not running a DHCP client anymore so thats not causing it to kick off but i cant figure it out.
I also tired the orinoco_hopper from airsnorts patch page which works a little better by itself, but when you fire up kismet with it it crashes :-/

Is this with a Wavelan card?

Are you sure you have the card in rfmon mode? iwpriv and all that....

DHCP won't work at all if you are in rfmon mode, so don't worry about that.

If the dhclient prog is running, it will cause that.

If the card isn't in monitor mode, it will cause that "kismet_monitor -H" IIRC will set monitor mode and hop.

If you don't have the rfmon hacked driver installed, it will cause that error as well. Use PCMCIA-CS 3.2.1 and the snax patch to go along with it.

the drivers are successfully patched, i can put the card into monitor mode on one channel or a few (kismet_monitor -c #) and it works great but when i use the -H switch it will run for a bit and quit. sometimes longer sometimes shorter. I downloaded and installed the 13b drivers today (was using the 11b w/ cs 3.2.1) and upgraded to the 8.1 firmware witht the same effects. I also downloaded the orinoco_hopper.c file from airsnorts website and compiled that. it seems to work better than kismets but the downside is, that when it crashes it sometiems brings the entire system down....

On a side note: just a while ago i ran orinoco_hopper, put the card in monitor mode (kismet_monitor) and fired up kismet and it worked great...
the only thing is, is that orinoco_hopper seems to use up a bunch of cpu :-/

well i got it to sort of work..........

kismet_monitor -H dies after a bit; and kismet_hopper the same......

sooooo

I launch the card into monitor mode kismet_monitor and then i launch orinoco hopper (orinoco_hopper eth0) to hop the channels then fire up kismet and watch the wifi security crumble

the orinoco hopper uses a lot of cpu though so im kinda worried but it works at least :-/

i <3 kismet......... 3+ weeks in the test mode and finally it works :-/
