Is there any compelling reason to install Cygwin and run Kismet from there, as discussed in this thread versus running it from within VMWare? (Auditor is installed on the hard drive and not running from the iso image).

The only reason you might want to use Kiswin or Cygwin is that the overhead will be much lower than running a full vmware image.

Right now I am fighting an issue with the kismet_drone process stopping immediately after starting without error. Used the version 0.3 guide for Windows install and version 3.3 of the WRT54G How To. Both the S60kismet_drone and S70JW_scan are installed in /etc/init.d (were put there by your auto-drone.sh script. Neither process appears to run automatically when I reboot. Also the documentation says to telnet into the WRT54G but since installing White Russian RC4, I am only able to ssh as root into the device. This does not bother me as I prefer to use ssh over telnet anyway.
Anyway, once I get the above two working I plan on seeing if I can get it to work with KisMAC.

make sure that both scripts are executable and that the kismet_drone and kismet.conf files files got put into place. if everything looks ok, relaod the router and follow the manual method, tha autodrone.sh script is still experimental outside of my lab.

Why no telnet password?
Telnet is an insecure protocol with no encryption, we try to make a point of this insecurity by not enabling a password. If you're in an environment that requires password protection we suggest setting a password with the passwd command, which will disable the telnet server and enable the Dropbear SSH server.

Just like in the old punchtape days. It's only after we got the GUI in the form of MacOS and Windows 3.x/9x/NT/XP/2Kx, that people appearently forgot that skill : Read documentation, before using system.

Wow.. So now I know the truth : You are flummoxed (is that really an adjective ?), when you IM me ? We want a picture of that...
