Okay, the forum will not let me attach .tgz-files... but .zip-files are ok, so I renamed it. Actually it shouldn't make any difference for tar which ending the file has, in order to remember what it is it might be useful to rename this one to kismet_confs.tgz once you downloaded it...

http://www.zdez.org/sox-13.0.deb

Has /usr/bin/play symlinked to sox plus one lib. Nokia has lots of stuff in /usr/share/sounds, or you can get the original kismet source tree which has their waves.

tz1: Do you know if your build should work on 2008HE?
I didn't manage to run it on my 770, kismet quits after client has launched and connected to server:
"Error opening terminal: xterm."
Did someone have the same issue?

I had the same error. The reason is missing ncurses, install ncurses directly (with apt-get) or install nano which will pull ncurses as a dependency.

I don't appear to be getting signal strength readings (though I'm getting GPS now). I originally tried Prism instead of nokia770. Could others try and see if in their logs (GPS or otherwise) they get a signal strength? (I was wondering why no colored circles on my map, but I won't annotate a zero signal strength AP).

one pet peeve with the old version of kismet: if you select the output type to be CSV, it writes a SSV (semi-colon separated value) instead. can the default delimiter be changed to a comma in this version? that way gnumeric can read the file correctly.

i hacked this together, and is just a PITA to have to do it...

year=`date +%Y`
mon=`date +%b`
day=`date +%d`

sed 's/;/,/g' ./Kismet-$mon-$day-$year`{*}`.csv > ./Kismet-$mon-$day-$year`{*}`.new.csv 2&>1

I think I remember someone saying that the driver doesn't report the signal strength; airodump shows -1 as PWR, too. On the other hand, iwlist scanning wlan0 shows signal strength values - maybe this information gets lost once you enter monitor mode? It's sad that the driver is closed source...

There is an opensource version of the driver. They might not have set it up so it returns signal strength in monitor mode, but I do have the source for the module. It may not be what the stock n810 is using, but I should be able to rmmod the old and insmod the new - I should try it anyway.

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=12 has the opensource driver, but for an earlier kernel, and a quick attempt at a compile and load failed (it doesn't like the symbols in the n810 so won't load, but I also had to try a few quick patches to make it compile).

However it does apparently return signal strength in monitor mode.

I'm doing a bit too much overtime so I might not get to this too soon, so if someone else could update it to the current kernel, I'd appreciate it.

There was some earlier discussion on this driver on various threads including http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...52&postcount=7

Like most of most posts, this has to begin with the caveat "sorry for being such a noob, but. . ."

I've downloaded kismet from the rapidshare link posted by bluesubaru in post #72. I've saved it on my external memory card. Can some tell me the exact xterm script to install from that location?

I'm totally new to Linux, so working with my n800's CLI is quite a learning experience for me. I've figured out red/blue pill mode, installed open ssh, and know how to gain root access. Bluesubaru indicates that either of these may be necessary for installing kismet. I'm pretty sure I've worked out that part, but I'm not familiar with installing apps from the CLI.

Thanks in advance for your help!
