I just updated my Debian chroot and one of the applications that got updated in Debian Sid is Kismet (version 2008-05-R1-1). However, it failed to install correctly. Why? Here's the error:
That suggests that the current version of Kismet for Debian is trying to put the Kismet icon into a maemo (OS2008) menu. Why? Did they borrow code from tz1? Or what?

I'd like someone to try installing Debian Kismet by searching for the kismet package in the Sid distro and armel architecture at packages.debian.org ... see if it just installs into OS2008.

Hey Blueski ...

Are you running tz1's 2007 version? Do you also have the problem with packet grabbing stopping after a while?

qole: I've download from HERE

I get incompatible package from Application Manager, and from dpkg I get:

Hope that's helpful!

I've been running the nokismet build for some time now with no problem - I've logged well over 1000 hours, so I'm pretty happy with that build on the N810.

I now want to build it myself and have set up Scratchbox and the Maemo SDK on my Debian PC. Whenever I try running ./configure it keeps stopping because it can't find libncurses or libcurses.

I have installed libncurses5, libncurses5-dev, ncurses-base, libcurses-perl and libstdc++ via Synaptic, but these don't seem to help. I have also run ldconfig and rebooted. I'm kind of out of ideas now.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Paxton: You said you installed those files in Synaptic. Unless you have Synaptic running in the scratchbox environment, it sounds like you installed them in the host environment. Try installing them using "apt-get" from the command line in scratchbox.

Thanks for that. if I try apt-get install libncurses or apt-get install libcurses inside Scratchbox it says it can't find those packages.

As my libncurses is actually libncurses5, it sounds like there needs to be a symbolic link set up in Scratchbox to point from libncurses to libncurses5. Sounds like this is on the right track.

Checking up on it, though, there is already a link from /usr/libncurses.so to /lib/libncurses.so.5.5 so it ought to be working.

The deb in the 2008 has some problems and I'm working to fix them. I have a patched version that functions but still needs cleanup.

(and that darn sox for playing waves needs to be debianized, but the debian project's version is broken)

HI.. sorry to be such a newbie, by I got to ask this.. can anyone post the exact steps on another thread on how to crack wep and wpa-psk on the n*00, beggining on how to instal the programs needed(nkismet and naircrack, I think thats all you need right?) the untar. thing.. and then the steps, commands etc..
I know I sound really lazy by just asking all that.. but I've been reading like all the threads and have a headache by now..
another thing.. any suggestions on a good book to learn the ins and outs off linux??

@Renanholanda

"cracking a wep network" using linux is not a difficult task. Learning to do it on your tablet however, adds layers of complication.

I would suggest installing one of the linux distros like Ubuntu and going to this site and reading the tutorials.

Once you have the aircrack suite down, and are familiar with wireless packet capturing, you can start worrying about buying hardware or using a multitude of other tools, including your tablet. Please feel free to PM me if you have specific questions, but know that there is a learning curve that you are expected to pass by yourself. Everything you need to know is freely available and well documented.

Hope this helps

Simple question, without running Debian in a chroot environment/memory card. What is the best N810 firmware for running Kismet at this time? What is the the best Kismet to load on said firmware?

I have collected all the firmwares from Nokia and all the various Kismet deb installers from this forum.

Here is my list so far of Kismet debs:
kismet_2008-05-R1_armel.deb
kismet_2007.01.R1b-1.0_armel.deb
nokismet-0.0.1a.deb
nokismet-0.0.1.deb

Here is my list of N810 firmwares:
RX-44_2008SE_1.2007.42-18_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
RX-44_2008SE_1.2007.42-19_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.51-3_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin,
RX-44_DIABLO_4.2008.23-14_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

I have a freshly flashed N810 running Diablo. What is the next best step to getting Kismet running?
