New N800 user; the first thing I did was to flash the OS2008 ROM. I think I may have made a big mistake :-(

I bought an N800 for one primary reason - I'm involved in auditing wireless networks, and need to run Kismet. I've been using a Sharp Zaurus, but the 2.6 kernel versions for that device are too unstable for my use and 802.11g support is nonexistant.

All my forum-searching has taught me how to set up a repository, how to use Maemo, etc. but the roadblock I've encountered is that I find things, e.g. Wireless Tools, on the OS2007 feeds that won't install in OS2008.

Am I stuck - do I need to revert to OS2007? (I hear it's slower among other things) or am I just looking in te wrong places for the software?

TIA for the help

Walt
