When I try to install kismet on my N800 I get an error:

Errors were encountered whil processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpcap0.8_0.9.5-1_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Is there a different version of libpcap for the N800?

Re: How to install Kismet on the N800
 

as far as i know, libpcap is only needed for tcpdump. i have kismet installed on my n800, and in red pill mode libpcap is listed as not installed.

i had to go to the webpage for the repository and download the .deb package and install it that way.

on a semi-related topic, can someone compile gpsd for the n800?

Under the app manager / application details / dependencies

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1)
Depends: libgcc1
Depends: libncurses5
Depends: libpcap0.8 (>=0.9.3-1)
Depends: libstdc++6
Depends: ncurses-base


I'll uninstall it, and try just installing the .deb

Thanks.

These days I think you can install kismet from a repository:
http://eko.one.pl/maemo mistral user
You'll find becomeroot there too, so that you can be root when you execute it in an xterm.

I tried to install it from there...
That's where the libpcap problems come from.

I must have something else installed that it does not like.

Installing just the .deb file also failed. It needed the libpcap too.

I guess I will uninstall some things and try again.

gpsd is included as standard in IT2007. You can start it like this:

Replace aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff with the MAC address of your bluetooth GPS. I use this with kismet and it is working just fine.

I have found that after disabling the automatic WLAN scan my kismet is very stable. If I have an active WLAN connection when I start kismet, I don't get the "WLAN is left in an unknown state" message either when I exit kismet.

what happened to the /etc/default/gspd config file? i was hoping to be able to configure it once (per flash, as i seem to be doing so frequently) and have it work subsequently.

yes, i could put together a small script, but configuration files are easier to work with.

Re: How to install Kismet on the N800
 

Okay,
I still can't install it.
Now libpcap says I already have a file installed
libpcap.so.0.9.5

Why doesn't kismet use this one? It is greater than the dependancies.

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks
