When I try to run nmap on my Zaurus (pdaX r198, Ambicom WL1100C wireless, custom-built pcap), it says
CODE Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-10-14 12:14 UTC pcap_open_live(wlan0, 104, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: live packet capture not supported on this system. Will wait 5 seconds then retry. caught SIGINT signal, cleaning up What causes this? Kismet works fine. Do I need to put the card into monitor mode or something (it's just connected to my wireless now). Thanks. |

Strace could take the guesswork out of what's going wrong because you can see the calls and all from just before it messes up.
Have you used it before? I tend to increase the output string when I run it to make sure it doesn't cut off anything important. My strace for this would look something like: strace -f -v -s 200 -o /mnt/card/nmap.strace nmap & You could have it put the results wherever you wanted and call the output file after -o whatever you want, I put mine on SD card. The number after -s is the length of each diagnostic string. If a line is longer than that, it gets truncated and I think the default is something like 30 characters IIRC. Just try it...you could post the last 50-100 lines of output to get help interpreting? sdjf |
