hi guyz,

I have the eko.one.pl(mistral) kismet running on N800(chinook). It dances around all the SSIDs on the initial screen(curses display), but on sorting the networks by SSID and pressing 'l' (el), it gives me a "server is not reporting card power levels. No signal info is available" error. If I press an 'i' to view network details, I get zero signal and noise values, no matter what access point or network I select. I tried nokia770 and prism54g as sourcetypes in kismet.conf but got the same behaviour...anybody got any light to shed on this pbm?? Thanks.

I still have my copy of kismet_2007.01.R1b-1.0_armel.deb.

If anyone needs it, PM me.


Edit: Rapidshare download

Great, so we have some kind of backup copy ;-) I think it would be great if you could upload this to some one-click filehoster... Or maybe some repository manager might adopt it...

/Edit: Thanks @bluesubaru, that was quick ;-) Actually I wanted to mirror the file on some German filehoster to get a speed increase for European users, but Rapidshare has local servers in most countries, so there is no need for it anymore

The only thing which might be nice would be to set the festival path in kismet_ui.conf to /usr/bin/flite (if flite is installed)... and kismet can speak ;-)
This should stop if you disable automatic wlan connectivity and set it to "ask always" (translation guessed - i have a german os). Then you have to disable your current wlan connection (so that you are not associated to any wlan) before you start kismet.
Actually I can get it to run without problems, but kismet keeps finding new wlans because it messes up the SSIDs... but it seems to do this in some random way (or at least I don't see a pattern).
So, say after 3s you find ssid "def\001ault" after 2s you find "d\314efault" and so on...
This is so strange that my guts tell me that it most probably won't be fixed with some .conf-files...

/Edit: I noticed you use prism54g as source type while the "eko-kismet" uses the source-type "nokia770". Maybe this would do the trick?
/Edit²: Yes it does - When I run the eko-kismet with a prism54g source I get the same errors as with your build

Maybe you could start an extra thread for your compiled version of kismet, so that one could subscribe to it and be notified when a new version is published...

I'm in massive overtime mode at the moment. When I get some time I'll see what I can do.

*g* Take your time - actually your build runs far better than I expected (for version 0.1 ;-) and all of those little things I found can be done by .conf-files
I will uninstall eko this evening and try your build again in some kind of long-run test, but with the right capture source it seemed to be quite stable.

If you come up with better conf files, attach them or post the diff or relevant lines.

I would also like to know how to set up the tz1-kismet to be "quite stable". What do I need to tweak?

I have uploaded that .deb to my downloads - see http://www.zaurus.org.uk and follow the downloads to nokiatablet

Has anyone figured out how to pull the kismet gps data into a mapping tool?

Ideally, the n810 Map app as a wifi POI, but anything would do really.
