kismet c860 cacko 1.21 hotfixb

ok so once i changed the source line in the kismet .conf file kismet is working. now for some reason wellenreiter dosnt want to work with that config. well sniff at least.  when i start it  it says you hcae started as non-root ect ... whn i start from cli as root it says Qt/Embedded data directory is not owned by user 0 Aborted. did you make any other changes to get wellenreiter to work?

Heh,

I guess that I mis-typed earlier.    I forgot that I wrote a little script to launch wellenreiter.  Basically it changes the bind line in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf from:

bind "prism2_cs"

to

bind "orinoco_cs"

Then:

mv /etc/pcmcia/.hermes.conf /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf

Restart pcmcia card services and insert your card.  Then activate that bogus "Kismet" network configuration from my last post.  Run wellenreiter as root and click on Sniffer-->Configure.  Set the interface name: to 'eth0' and the driver to 'orinoco'.

YMMV

[nianderson]

so does your script activate the bogus network connection too? whatrs the commandline for that or ya could post yer script

I installed libtcap and then tried to install Kismet and Wellenreiter. Both still complained about dependencies. I did get an icon for Wellenreiter, but it didn't seem to do anything. The howtos don't help (a dope like me) much.

Here is my pooey script...  I'm using 'cardctl scheme <scheme_name>' to activate the necessary scheme.  You will need to make a few changes to get this script to work on your system:

*  Create /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf.orinoco with the line bind line for the orinoco drivers.

*  Create /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf.prism2 with the default prism2 bind line.

*  Identify the scheme name for your dummy network configuration (should be qpewlan#) and change the SNIFFING_CONFIG= variable at the top of wellenreiter.sh to this scheme name.

After that you can run 'wellenreiter.sh start' as root to start sniffing away.

I'm pretty sure that all these gyrations are only for the WCF12 cards.

Have fun...

The Package index on my feed has been un-f'd and tested by me.  Anyone else care to verify that it works?

Thanks!

any idea on the running as non root limited privlidges?  or the Qt/Embedded not owned by 0?
