Hello everyone,

It appears I spoke too soon in my previous posting when I said there is no problem under PR 1.2.

Indeed all the same problems I had with my customized PR 1.1 have now come back with PR 1.2 (I did a completely fresh flash of everything on my N900, not an upgrade from PR 1.1), including the problem which "AutoGroups" everything came back.

Additionally, at times when I start up Kismet it cannot even bind to the wireless interface, with the console reading "capture source 'wlan0' doesn't appear to use the set_prismhdr i control". Selecting "Close Console Window" persistently shows zero visible networks in areas of high network concentrations.

Sometimes a reboot resolves the problem, more often a reboot does not resolve the problem.

I am running Power Kernel 2.6.28.10power37, dated May 26th 2010. Do we suspect this to be a driver issue?

Has any experience similar issues?

As an update to my last post, since flashing my N900 and upgrading to PR 1.2 I no longer experience the the 'Autogrouping everything' problem.

The problem was likely linked to my highly modified instance of PR 1.1.

On a different note, what is your opinion on these Kismet plugins which have recently popped up for the N900 Kismet application? Have you tried any of them, have you had any luck with them?

Thanks again
