Bob,
I'm assuming you're running this on your ThinkPad?
Last I tried kismet, it didn't support my madwifi driver. I now have a
ThinkPad at work which uses the IPW2100 driver.
Which driver are you using? What magic did you use to get kismet to work?
hOWDY bILL ! nICE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
(OOOPS SHOULD GET MY CAPSLOCK OK) :)
Well I am ashamed to say that really nothing special... worked almost
just out of the box.
IIRC :
1) Have my super (patched but not relating to wifi) 2.6.11-rc4
2) DL and compiled madwifi from CVS a while ago
3) ath0 comes up nicely. I have the original Atheros 5211 in my T40 (IBM
802.11 a/b mini PCI).
4) DL Kismet and configure it ... only relevant change is kismet.conf with:
source=madwifi_ab,ath0, ath0
That's it.
Really works GREAT !
HTH,
Bob
