OK, I owe a lot of gratitude to you Tantris. Indeed it was the lack of ncurses-base that was the problem. I've got it up and running now. Thanks again.

Now I just need to figure out how to use it!

I'm glad it worked for you - Kismet is a wonderful piece of software and the support on the ITs is actually quite good... if only the wireless driver would report a signal quality ;-)

If you telnet or socat to the gpsd port (tcp/2947), you can see if it returns the information kismet uses for a lock.

Type "PAVMH" - I don't think H (heading) is supported, but the other three will return ? if not locked, or the lat/lon, altitude, speed if locked.

Meanwhile, the kernel shift past 2.6.20 seems to be creating some annoyances with the cx3110x opensource driver. I may need a new kernel (with a few more exported symbols).

I used to have a patch that would decode the NMEA stream for kismet instead of the GPSD commands. I'll have to see if I can find and adapt it. I also have a few of my own GPSD programs.

I don't know if it is any help, but talking to the gps in python is incredibly easy... but then again a python script would have to supply the information... or it might "fake" a GPSD at another port. Some basic playing with the GPS in Python can be found here

On the n810 i was able to get this deb to work. I only changed log dir location in the config file.

I start maemo mapper first, and then run kismet as root. Flite tells me when kismet finds something. Kismet makes a gps file for me.... with a modifed kismet2gpx perl script I was able to get POIs to show up in mapper.

Problems:
Kismet seems to stop logging after about 10 minutes or so. The error is not in front of me at the moment, but it mentioned somthing about a server and end of file (EOF).

No singnal strength data... I thought I read some place that an open source driver existed that helped with this, but I cannot seem to find any info.

The perl script really is only good putting dots on the map so far... no aditional info.

I have seen the same issue. I don't know what is the cause but airodump-ng is able to scan and dump frames for more than 10mn without problems (I'm seeing a lot of malformed packets in wireshark but I don't know if it's due to the platform)

Any other experience ?

Hey I'm running OS 2008 on an N800
I've gotten the Aircrack-ng suite to run, as well as nmap, metasploit, and dsniff.
I could not get the nokismet port to install, but the 2007 version seemed to, however, I need ncurses and libpcap. I could not get these from the maemo extras repository. Does anyone have these?
Also, I am interested in compiling a small web account with links to all the maemo IT OS 2008 pentesting tools.
Does anyone have a list and places from which to download these?
Thanx

I got ncurses to install by running an apt-get install nano

Thanks, is this a command line thing?
Could you expound somewhat?

btw, new version of kismet was released couple of days ago http://www.kismetwireless.net/. There are some maemo specific changes, but I think that most of them have been included in maemo builds already.
