kismet, KNOPPIX, Cisco 350, unable to seet monitor mode...
on a whim, i tried to run kismet off KNOPPIX (linux live-on-cd distro).

unfortunately, i'm stuck on "unable to set monitor mode" when kismet runs...

i have read several suggestions on how to set RFMON mode with a Cisco 350, but it seems kismet_monitor already does this for you...

i've checked to make sure the right ethernet device is being used, the right module is loaded for the cisco, and the right Config is set in /proc/drivers/aironet/<DEVICE>/Config, but i'm not able to run kismet successfully yet.

anyone have experience with kismet on KNOPPIX?

Which drivers are you using? I believe the latest Cisco drivers disable rfmon. I'll do a little research myself and see if I can help ya

hey, thanks.

after some more RTFM'ing, i'm seeing references to using the 'airo linux' drivers, which is what KNOPPIX appears to be loading and using...

you can literally lsmod and see 'airo linux' in the modules, and /proc/drivers/aironet/<DEVICE>/Config is taking the RFMON setting _from the command line_, but not from kismet_monitor...

i suspect that KNOPPIX is not loading the correct driver for the Cisco 350, even though it "looks" like it.

anyway, i'll still be beating up on this.

It gives me a "invalid command : monitor" error. I guess it has the wrong drivers.

ok, months later, i'm back on this again.

seems you need the drivfers from 2.4.19 kernel - and knoppix-std .1b has 2.4.20 kernel.

i went through all the cardtype options, but never could get it into RFMON mode.

i'm now going to try recompiling the drivers on knoppix-std and see where that goes...

OMFG!

it's working!

here's what fixed it:


#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme kismet
ifconfig eth0 down
kismet_monitor -i eth0
ifconfig wifi0 up
echo "Mode: r" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config
echo "Mode: y" > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config
kismet -i wifi0
