Hi all;

I've watching and reading this thread, but I'm still fairly confused.

Q: Is there a stable kismet build for the n810?
There is a posting on the Kismet site that implied that it is not ready for the n810 - stability problems. I saw that page a few days ago, but now cannot find it.

Q: Is there an "official" binary for the n810, other than nokismet-0.0.1a.deb?
When I go to the kismet site, I can find the stable source, but not the binaries:
http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/k...8-05-R1.tar.gz
Should I just try kismet-2008-05-R1.tar-1.gz\kismet-2008-05-R1.tar-1\kismet-2008-05-R1\debian\kismet.install , or I should I just use nokismet-0.0.1a.deb?

Q: Will I need updated drivers, libraries, etc? I installed nano, so I'm hoping that will take care of ncurrses.

Q: Is kismet the best solution?
I'm trying to "see" as much as I see with netstumbler on a windoze laptop, + also raw frames, hidden SSIDs, etc. I don't need pretty graphics. Is kismet the easiest methodology, or should I be trying something else?

My staff manages a huge wireless infrastructure. I'm trying to decide if n810's for them will help them look for rogue APs, or if they are better off using their Windoze laptops. They are very skilled with networks, cisco, wireshark, etc. , but very weak with Linux.

Thanks,

Steve
