Just two questions...
First, when I run Maemo Mapper, of course if wants a map.... but the only choices seem to be East/West USA at 750MB +. Are there smaller state or regional maps? Where?

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) anywhereCode:ifdown wlan0 pccardctl eject 1 pccardctl insert ifup wlan0
so the workaround for now is
If anyone has any suggestions about restarting the wifi interface, I'd love to hear them.Code:shutdown -r now

Could you kindly tell me how have you downloaded kismet bora distribution ?
Web link would suffice.

If you follow the first link I gave, then click on the Dists folder, then on the Bora folder you get to http://eko.one.pl/maemo/index.php?path=dists%2Fbora/
As for how I installed it, I added the Application Catalog, http://eko.one.pl/maemo into the Applications Manager and went from there.
Then I followed the same procedure to resolve the missing dependencies:
- Search at gromayer.com
- Add the catalog into Application Manager
- Install the missing part(s)
- Go back and try Kismet again.
Just as an aside, I have mentally drawn a parallel between this process and the Package Manager on the Zaurus (Angstrom and pdaXrom versions) but evidently I am wrong. The GUI on the Zaurus is just a front end to ipkg; I thought that the Applications Manager on the N800 had the same relationship to apt-get but that reasoning seems to be false. If anyone can clarify that I'd appreciate it.

Odd. There is no Kismet under bora but there is under mistral.
I have my application manager pointing to the level above that,http://eko.one.pl/maemo and the version it installed works on my N800 running OS2008. that *should* run on the 810 but I'm no expert so I wouldn't guarantee it.

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...)
Have you had any luck getting the APs to show up on the map?
I did the same thing, and the Lat/Long shows up in the kismet screen, and of course in the data file, but all that showed on the map was the track I took while driving around.
That doesn't surprise me, really. I wonder if there is anything that could be done with the POI mechanism to plot the APs.
I also suspect, but haven't tried it, that kismet would find the GPS without help from the mapping program, once it's paired with the N800.

it looks as if the maintainer of eko.one.pl has removed the kismet mistral package many of the posts in this thread reference. is there another source for that package?

How do all!
I'm sorry I didn't make it clear earlier about my motives for accumulating data earlier. I do NOT use Maemo Mapper or the Wayfinder product for mapping, just the GPS interface so my BT GPS is seen by Kismet. If I don't, then the GPS BT interface turns off after about 5 minutes. After a WarDrive, I upload my data to WiGLE.net and use their mapping software to check out my points on my Windows PC. I'm not sure how the mapping programs handle waypoints. I wonder if the XML data that Kismet creates can be converted to waypoints.

Second, does anyone know if this will work with an N800 plus a Bluetooth GPS? I have a Teletype GPS that has worked with a variety of Windows Mobile devices; I have yet to try it with Maemo because of question #1, but will buy a 4GB SD card if it is likely to work.
Third (an afterthought) has anyone gotten the signal-strength to work in Kismet? It just shows up as a constant 0.0 on my installation, but all the other columns seem to work properly. I have version 2007.01.R1b-1.0 which I think is the latest for OS2008.
