Kismet on the SL-6000 L built-in WIFI adapter is easy!
These instructions apply to pdaXrom users, but may work on other distros with little or no modifications.
1. Install Kismet
(Get it from here or the feed)2. # adduser kismet (password optional)
3. # vi /usr/etc/kismet.conf
suiduser=kismet
source=wlanng,wlan0,wlan0
:wq
4. # vi /usr/bin/kismet
Add the following under #!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan restart && cd /home/kismet
TERM=xterm-color
:wq
5. # kismet [RETURN]
6. Viola!
7. If you want speech enabled (I think it's cool)
download and install flite and then...
# vi /usr/etc/kismet_ui.conf
speech=true
...
festival=/usr/bin/flite (this is sometimes /usr/local/bin/flite, depends where you get flite)
...
flite=true
...
speech_type=speech
:wq
8. Want GPS too? Make sure you install gpsd first then create the symlink for the gps device to a serial port.
# ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/gps
Now add gpsd to the kismet startup script
vi /usr/bin/kismet
Add the following under #!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/gpsd (again, this could be something else, depending where you get gpsd)
:wq
9. If you are going to be storing large packet captures, then I recommend that you create a new /home/kismet directory on removable storage (/mnt/cf or /mnt/card) and symlink to it. This way you won't run out of storage space on the Z.
# mkdir /mnt/card/home/kismet
# chown kismet:kismet /mnt/card/home/kismet
# rm -rf /home/kismet
# ln -s /mnt/card/home/kismet /home/kismet
