Title: Another Kismet question
Post by: zaurnewb on June 14, 2004, 09:56:54 pm
My Dlink cf card works fine. No problems.
When I run kismet from the shell I get NO hits. Nothing. Even though I am standing right next to my wireless router, which I can connect to and use.
Kismet gives me no errors. It runs great (besides not working right). It just won\'t find anything.
below are my settings and such.
Any ideas?


I am have the 5600 with:

kernel=2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
Rom=1.32
Dlink dcf-660w

kismet 2.8.1


run as root:
#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme CardResume
cardctl scheme qpewlan2 &
kismet
cardctl scheme CardSuspend

qpewlan2:
NAME:kismet
Non-Spec ESS-ID: \"ANY:
WEP:disabled
IP:10.0.0.2
MASK:255.0.0.0
GATEWAY:10.0.0.1
PRIMARY DNS:10.0.0.1

Hi,

before running kismet, you should also run
# kismet_monitor
(to put your card into monitor mode; actually you may not need this, since, as you say, kismet runs OK, and I think that if this command was needed for you, kismet would die. Just try with and without :-)
# kismet_hopper &
(to have you wifi card jump between channels looking for APs)
# kismet

....


and, after finishing, remember to run
# kismet_unmonitor
(fo clearness)

Hope that helps.
