Wellenreiter And Kismet

[BarrySamuels]

C3100 bought about 2 weeks ago with the standard Sharp ROM.
I have an Ambicon WL1100C-CF with which I can connect to my own network.

I have spent a morning discovering that Wellenreiter won't work for me. I've seen various post which seem to group people into two groups - those that can run Wellenreiter with no trouble and those that can't get it to work at all. I'm in the latter group.

I have a problem which others seem to have - that is to say in the first tab of the config window the 'Name' field is blank. The following field, if my memory is right, is 'wg-lan'. I followed Meanie's instructions for setting this up.

I thought then that I'd try Kismet and installed, again following Meanie's instructions, but it couldn't find libpcap.so.1 and wouldn't run. Yes I did set up the link as instructed.

So I'm stumped. Any updates on these problems?

UPDATE: I've just realised that the Wellenreiter ipk I used is  wellenreiter_1.0.2-sl-c7x0-7_arm.ipk from the ZUG feed and is the only one I could find. Meanie suggests opie-wellenreiter_1.0.2.1-20031220_arm.ipk. Can anyone tell me where I might get a copy of this?

I tried to install on C3000 with the cacko beta and it was not recognized by the installer. Maybe you will have better luck.

I have just struggled half a day to try to get Kismet to work on my C1000 with no luck.  I have it running on both of my sl-5500's.  Why should this be such a struggle?

Is there anybody out there who knows how to simplify the installation of this utility?

Meanie's install is way too complicated and for some reason throws flite into the mix.  When I changed the lines in the kismet.conf for source,  it started to fail completely.  I have a Belkin wifi card that works with "source=prism2_legacy,eth0,Kismet" perfectly on my collie.  And does the user have to be changed to Zaurus?  suiduser=root works fine on my sl-5500.

The ipks on my collie are kismet 2.60 and kismet-qt 1.4.0.  I couldn't find the old 2.6.0 Kismet ipk anywhere to try it on my akita.  :-(

Also,  that kismet ipk file he says to download opens up a terminal with the desktop icon...what kind of nonsense is that?

I guess you can tell my nerves are frayed after 6 hours of dealing with Kismet.  :-)

(On the bright side,  I did get Doom working yesterday!)

Maslovsky said he would update the package feed, see https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15864&st=15

I have kept an eye on the feed http://web.mol.ru/~zaurus/feed/ and see that there is a new Kismet file dated 19th December 2005.

I haven't tried it yet but just mention it here in case it is of help.

Got it working through Cresho's excellent directions!

Cresho,  you are my hero.  May I put up a web page with those directions and links to the files?  Also,  I'd like to put on the page links to your Clipboard app and Photo utility?

Can someone enlighten me to the differences between Kismet and wellenreiter? Is one better that the other and doing something??? Thanks

[Cresho]

use wellenhreiter because kismet dumps a bunch of useless files into your ...bin>?  forgot.  anyway, use wellen over kismet.

you can put those files up in a feed or your page. Both are maslovsky's files but one is modified to fit the c1000 needs.
