I'm attempting to help with a work project using kismet. Instead of my laptop, I've decided to use my Zaurus (SL-5500).
I've followed the instructions that are located here (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=How%20to%20run%20Kismet%20on%20the%20SL-6000L) and seem to almost be there but I'm getting this error:
configdir '/root/.kismet/' does not exist, making it.
FATAL: Could not make configdir: Read-only file system.
The errors show when I attempt to start Kismet via the command line. When I use Kismet-QT, I get a pop-up window stating "Can't connect to the server". I'm assuming is the same issue....server won't start because of the Zaurus's config file perms so the GUI client can't connect.
http://www.kismetwireless.net/Forum/Genera...62028963.088968 (http://www.kismetwireless.net/Forum/General/Messages/1062028963.088968) states to cd to the user account (kismetuser in this case), change the PATH variable to ensure wlanctl-ng is in it, and then run kismet (still as root). I've no idea what this is talking about.
In the meantime, I'll keep searching the forums.
TIA,

OK, I narrowed things down a bit. I can now run Kismet without the previous errors. I edited kismet.conf and changed the location of log- and config files to /mnt/card.
Now, I'm getting:
FATAL: Could not connect to localhost:2501
If I run "/home/root/usr/local/bin/kismet_server" I get:
Waiting for capture child 3296 to terminate...
Kismet quitting
I'm using Kismet 3.0.1, BTW
TIA,

Got it!
Saw this (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3950&hl=kismet+waiting+for+capture+child+to+terminate#) and changed the source from "prism2" to "prism2_legacy" within the .conf file.
I hope these comments help others.
