It shouldn't, it wouldn't hurt to try it. There are newer versions too.

The one thing that makes me hesitate on flashing the sveasoft firmware is:

"Router is a WRT54G V1.0, V1.1 or V2.0"

and

"Note there is now a new version of the WRT that the 3rd party firmwares have trouble with. The new version are the WRT54Gv.2.2 and the WRT54GSv1.1

They use a broadcom switch chip instead of the ADM6996, and if you flash it with firmware that does not have the new chip support built in, you will loose your switch ports and then will have to flash back via wireless."

Until I can make sure I have the ADM6996 instead of the broadcom, I'm hesitant to do it. Any suggestions on how to determine this?

Firmware is v3.03.9.

I guess the other easy answer is use the OpenWRT firmware.

MusatchaGPSD does say it supports kismet but I can't get kismet running on Cygwin to see the GPS data. It comes out of NS to MusatchaGPSD but kismet doesn't see it.

So far I've not found anything that kismet running on Cygwin can see GPS data. I'm trying TGPSD 0.4 in a moment.

Mark57 · 08-07-2005

Update: TGPSD on my copy of Cygwin core dumps soooo, no GPS data for kismet for me so far.

Any suggestions from Cygwin/kismet users? Everything works great except getting NEMA GPS data. I'm using a Delorme USB GPS with the serial driver. It's working great as everything except kismet can see the data. Looks like I'll try GPSDrive next.

I'm officially done with screwing around with Cygwin. I'm converting to dual boot with Knoppix 3.8.1 and do kismet the right way. It worked fine but I couldn't get GPS data to kismet on Cygwin no matter what.

That's main problem with it you can't get control of the COM port so no GPS. At least that's why I never tried it in the first place.

My testing/playing made that very evident the farther I went. It was fun to try and I learned a lot along the way. It just seems like there should be a way . . . . oh, well. I know a quick way to "nix" the problem.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss 100 bucks goodbye!

Attached is a patch for gpsd (current release 2.30 - no, I'm not a fan of nightlies) that works with Cygwin (current release). It took approximately 2.5 hours to write/test, so it's a little kludgey looking, but it compiles cleanly. gpsd -n -N -D 2 /dev/com1 gives good raw NMEA output from my DigiTraveler, so I'm pretty sure it'll work fine with kismet. I tried it with my GPSlim236 on /dev/com4, but it isn't switching to the native 38400; maybe there's a command-line argument I'm missing, or maybe my implementation of cfsetspeed is horribly br0ken.

I've "installed" kismet (current release 2005-08-R1) on Cygwin (required so far: gcc libtool libncurses-devel make ImageMagick glib2-devel gmp tzcode patch) but I haven't yet reprogrammed my spare WRT54G (2.0) so I haven't tested it. Maybe this weekend...

(Oh, and I'm just kidding about the $100 - don't want money, just want fame.)

Donate it. (Tax write off).

Good work!

Mark57 · 09-16-2005

I blew away my Cygwin to install Knoppix. If anyone tests this with Kismet, post and let us know how it goes.

My WRT's are out on loan till tonight and I'm not sure if I've got a recent install of Cygwin on my laptop, but I'll definatly be testing this on the weekend.

If this works goldfndr, your entitled to the cash and fame (provided it works). If you don't want the cash, I'll make sure it goes somewhere worthwhile.

I'll write this up tonight or tomorrow if it works and it should be on the CoWF and the RenderLab by monday.

Sweet work. We finally have a way to get the best of both worlds by running Kismet and NS at the same time.

Anyone care to get GPSD going on a WRT54g?

goldfndr · 09-16-2005

I went ahead with flashing my WRT54G and testing it out (ipkg install kismet kismet-drone; made changes to /etc/kismet/kismet_drone.conf; other feedback to be written later). At first I wasn't sure it was working, because the coordinates didn't seem to be changing, and it kept saying "LOCK NONE" alternating with "LOCK 3D", but then I realized that it was only doing ddd.ddd and not ddd'mm'ss or ddd'mm.mm, and it was incrementing or decrementing after a few blocks, and I figured maybe my DigiTraveler was at fault for the LOCK, so I stopped worrying about it.

I definitely need to figure out how to get it operational with my GR-236, the DigiTraveler really sucks by comparison. And I either need to get flite installed and some kind of sox output or adapt my ns04thread.vbs to look for files that kismet creates - anyone have a good alternative to /usr/bin/play? It was sooooo quiet!

I haven't uploaded the logs yet, I need to get into the office first. Up too late (nearly 6am) flashing the WRT54G (lost its /www, it's empty now) trying it out. White Russian is up to RC3, btw.

One other thing: it spawned a huge number of kismet processes (I think they might've been kismet_client?) - need to figure out how to cut that down, but I'm guessing that's in one of the .conf files.

Oh, to anyone installing Cygwin anew and testing it: use my list of packages above for a quicker install, as those are all that's needed. I'm guessing that at least a couple of those are really superfluous (e.g. ImageMagick) since they're really for gpsmap and not for kismet. Oh, yeah, need to try to get gpsmap running, heh.

I've heard wierd things about digitraveler. I'll try it with my garmin when I get
home.

I'll also try it with the latest kismet_drone and server. the Ipkg on openwrt is out of date by about 3 releases. Edit: I'm an idiot, WR RC3 has updated to the latest kismet in thier ipkg. Did'nt know that

Will be updating the guides accordingly

Actually no, it seems to be a thing with cygwin in general. It creates alot of processes, but they are'nt out of control. No one seems to know why, but that's just how kismet runs on Cygwin

One of these days I'll sit down and figure out exactly which packages you need to install to get kismet/gpsd to compile and run. But proboly not today.

I think I worked it out when I first installed it all, I may have even PM'd you with the list. I can't remember, however, and have lost it all myself. Doh.
