Any tutorials on this ?


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
