I seem to recall a couple of those threads on the kismetwireless forums, that I participated in.. People wanting a spoonfeed seem to proliferate in the WiFi world *sigh*.

Yup, it's a real adjective in English.

As far a a picture of it, it's just me with a stupid expression. In other words, the usual. Sort of like this: :confused:

Welcome back! I'm guessing you were off on one of those exotic T&A vacations?

Having seen the face on a cardpunch operator after somebody turned over the card-cart, I do not wish for the old days to return..

Sorry, no T&A vacation, unless that covers being fed by an IV tube, and put on a ventilator. Doublesided pneumonia sucks big time, compared to being at ShmooCon.
And yeah, I missed you all, and thanks for NOT sending flowers this time. Not sure the XYL would believe it was guys sending them this time as well ;)

That brought back some ugly flashbacks. That is how I learned to write and run computer diagnostics. The instructor mandated that everything be run through loading the registers manually, in case the paper tape reader was dead.

It will bring tears to your eyes when you enter the 83rd line of a diag and realize that when you loaded the 82nd line you hit LOAD instead of LOAD/NEXT.

Let's all go back to writing machine code in octal. :eek:

Octal ?
You lazy lazy man... What ever happened to enter it in binary via 8 flip-switches directly into the core ?
Heck, I recall the days when we had to use our 300 baud modems, to connect across the country at LD charges. and if one of them failed, we had to whistle the tones down a modem line, and hoping we weren't off-key.
All them guys with their symbolic assemblers, VDU line editors and such, they really got it easy..
My first Nascom computer had a hexpad and a 8 digit LED display.. Great fun entering Z80 machine code on that one...

(yep.. looks like this is going into "Old Farts talking about the computing youth" thread...)

As Operations Supervisor, I broke a programmer of refusing to use sequence numbers on 2000+ card programs. I loaded up an identical card tray with old card decks and 'accidentally' knocked it off the counter when he came to pick it up. I had a bad couple of seconds when it looked like he was going to have a heart attack. We never saw another deck from him without sequence numbers, but he would not speak to me for over 2 years.

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.


Yes, after making the post I found the information about setting a password disabling telnet.

WRT54GL Problem

PostPosted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 1:05 pm
by karpa
Looking for some help.

I have two WRT54s. One a GL with Sveasoft Talisman and a G with the same. I have gotten the drone on the GL and kismet running on cygwin on my xp box. When I run the drone and kismet I see the drone (<no ssid>) and the G router (Repeater1) and a few other APs. When I dump the log and view it in Ethereal, I only seem to see the GL and the G beaconing and talking to each other. I see no outbound or inbound traffic.

I believe that I have the drone and the kismet.conf set up correctly as the xp box sees the GL, but as I mentioned no outgoing or incoming traffic seems to be logged. Am I mistaken and this is not a feature of kismet (traffic logging)?

Thanks
Karpa
