forgot to mention... i am running the bora version of kismet, as i have not seen the chinook version of it yet. you will have to look for the OS2007/bora/maemo3 or 3.2 paths in the repos to find it.
happy hunting

I just got Kismet working and want to share the steps I took to get there.
To begin with this is a brand new N800, which came with OS2007 installed. The first thing I did was to flash OS2008, reported as version 2.2007.50-2 in "About Product"
I found a Kismet repository at http://eko.one.pl/maemo. This has both mistral and bora distributions; I chose mistral. My first attempt at installing it failed with the message that ncurses-base was missing.
Thanks to the excellent index at http://gronmayer.com/it/index.php?la...tem=maemo4#134 I found the Maemo Chinook repository at http://repository.maemo.org and installed ncurses-base from there.
Now Kismet works as expected (running as root). The files are saved on the external sd card, /media/mmc1 although it didn't seem to bother it if the card was taken out. Kismet ran for over 30 minutes, including times when the screen went to sleep, with no problems.
The one issue, that Kismet warns you about, is that the wi-fi card is inoperative when Kismet exits. everything looks normal - the icon shows a connection, ifconfig looks normal, but the interface can't communicate with the outside world. On the Zaurua (running Angstrom) I was able to restart the card using the following script:
but so far I haven't found pccardctl (or the older cardctl) anywhere
so the workaround for now is
If anyone has any suggestions about restarting the wifi interface, I'd love to hear them.

It turns out that tapping the wireless icon, and then disconnecting/connecting the wifi connection, seems to reset it sufficiently.

Unfortunately I can't use gpsmap on my laptop to get some maps...
I transferred all logs (*.dump, *.gps) to my laptop and tried to use gpsmap, but it always says that I captured too few samples (in fact there were 0 samples... although I captured beacon packets and had a .dump of about 5MB).
Is there anyone who can use his kismet logs from a N810 with gpsmap?
Maybe it is because of the wlan module not reporting the signal quality to kismet (at least I can't see the "power levels" in kismet)
Regards,
Tantris

For me, on other platforms, I would have to do the ifconfig wlan0 down, followed by a rmmod/insmod on the module (for n810 it is cx3110x) driver.
But simply change-connection back to where I was at seems to fix it for me as an earlier poster noted.

After puttering around for awhile, I got Kismet to work with my Holux BT GPS and you ain't gonna believe the solution.
1. Started Maemo Mapper and enabled the GPS
2. Did the sudo gainroot thing in X terminal
3. Ran kismet
Just went around my block and it logged the max and min lat/longs of the 100 or so AP's in my neighborhood. I am quite psyched! Now onto mapping! I'm wondering if I lucked out on the kismet.conf tweaking 'cuz I'm a user not a programmer. (Thanks to Thoughtfix and Gnuite for their thoughts and Andrea Lange for the Italian instructions for Wardriving with your 770 that started me on this.) I hope others can duplicate this. If there is anything you need off my N800 let me know (and possibly help get it copied...)

I forgot to try that with my zmapper application - I used to do that with a wifi card and serial GPS with my Zaurus. The map showed lines and polygons and would use kismet to draw color coded circles per access point. I've ported it to the n810/n800 so it should work.
i browsed a lot of the repositories with a web browser, so that i could see what each one a had, and pulled the packages i wanted that way. a bit roundabout, but i was able to download the files, and have them in a somewhat bush-league repository of my own.
