Just create a symbolic link. In an X terminal, type "ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.5 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8" The new version works fine.

How do you disable automatic WLAN scanning? Are you simply putting the device in offline mode, or is there some Xterm magic involved? Using the stock driver, it seems to startup, and then quit channelhopping or recording within a few seconds. I'm not sure if the automatic WLAN scanning that's to blame or not.

I thought I had done that before. It worked this time. Thanks!

I had to manually set up the conf files.

I wish there was a way with apt-get to force a install without the dependencies...

Thanks again!

I too am having this issue, but only on the latest firmware (2007 release 3). I can start up kismet and it starts seeing networks and packets, but stops within a few seconds. Kismet doesn't freeze or anything, it just doesn't register any new data after the first few seconds of use.

Yup, I'm having this problem with it as it stops scanning after a few seconds too. Is there any fix for this?

Yes, the fix is to downgrade to 2007 release 2. Works fine as long as you keep tapping the screen to keep Nokia's unmodifiable power management settings from kicking in 5 minutes later...

Hi Rocketman,

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately for me, I like the new firmware which resolved a number of video issues. So other than downgrading, there isn't any other solution if I want to use Kismet? Do you know what's the root cause of this issue? Thanks!

dpkg -i installs as far as I know without dependencies. But for that you need the package local and I don't know if dpkg is installed on the N800. Aptitude should have an option for installing without dependencies.

dpkg comes pre-installed on the N800. But dpkg doesn't install without dependencies, that is, the install won't be completed without dependencies resolved. Unlike apt-get dpkg won't do any resolving (by downloading missing stuff) by itself. However, it will install what it can and when you later run apt-get upgrade the previous dpkg -i installation will complete itself if apt-get can resolve the dependencies.
Hope that made sense..
