I was over on the Kismet site and downloaded the latest version onto my N810 with OS2008. I got into root using sudo gainroot. I untarred and tried doing ./configure and I get a "permission denied" error. I checked the permissions and am unable to change the permissions. I tried the same on my netbook with no problems. I am puzzled......

Let me get this straight: you tried to compile latest Kismet directly on the tablet?
You can't do that, you're probably missing building dependencies, but even if you had them the tablet doesn't have much horse-power, so it could take quite a while

Yes, I compile directly on the tablet. The latest (this version) threw out ALL the code and started fresh,so it should compile very quickly even on the tablets.( BTW, that's what the app installers do, just customised for the tablets.)

What's got me stumped is that I have never come across a file(s) that locks permissions so they are not executable, even under root. Unless the N810 dowsn't allow code to be executed from external memory (mmc1)......

External memory cards are formatted as FAT.
They don't have execute permissions.

You couldn't be more wrong. The "app installers" fetch packaged and PRE-COMPILED ARM binaries. They do not compile directly on the tablet. An newcore is a HUGE re-write, it still takes almost as long as the oldgen kismet source does to compile.

That is not accurate. OS2008 (Diablo) is an offshoot of Debian that has been optimized for the N770/N8X0 platform. It is still Linux and has to follow the rules. It is nice to have pre-compiled binaries already made up in easy to find repositories, but that is only ONE way to do so. Somebody has to take the source and compile/cross-compile in order to get those pre-compiled binaries. I happen to enjoy doing that. (Aside from the occasional brain fart which started this thread.) And I've decided to chuck 05 for the recently released 06. (The newcore docs say they are ARM compatible so I'm working on the compiling on my four core work machine. Fingers crossed.... )
