I've recompiled it under the current environment, and want to make a DEB, but I don't have a good set of .conf files for the Nseries. Does anyone have one they can point me at or upload?

And apparently the kismet deb has been removed form the eko archive.

http://zdez.org/nokismet-0.0.1.deb

1. depends on tcpdump (actually libpcap). Install that first, but I have a dependency in the deb.

2. add a line to /etc/sudoers for /usr/bin/kismet (or tell me how to put that in the .deb - apparently adding a file with the line to /etc/sudoers.d/ doesn't work). Then you can launch it via "sudo kismet". Or from the status bar launcher:
osso-xterm 'sh -c "echo kismet | sudo gainroot"'
which worked for me before without the /etc/sudoers mod.

3. it should use gps if you turn it on. (/usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper is the program), but I didn't have a lock.

4. The above and other /usr/etc/kismet*.conf files haven't been thoroughly tested, only to the point that it comes up and works on my n810.

5. It seems to time-out after a while, but that might be my connection or the connection manager trying to update my RSS feed and trying to pull the interface back. Generally shutting wlan0 down and bringing it up again fixes things after kismet exits.

6. PLEASE try it, tweak it, get it working, and report back so I can incorporate the fixes.

i never meddled with the gui config file. attached is my kismet.conf. seems the eko repo was redesigned and now excludes previous versions of ITOS.

i had copied it back some time ago and can install it, when ncurses-base and libpcap0.8-0.9.5 is installed before hand. for what ever reason, the version i have requires the 0.8-0.9.5 version and wont take the plain 0.9.5 version.

This is my old Zaurus (with a Cisco PCMCIA card and GPS):



I should have this working on my n810 in a few days.

Though I might have to figure out how to do a USB host mode wifi with external antenna.

hi tz1,can you help me to install kismet on a n800?
using the 0s2007 i got it easily,but now with the last release os2008 i have many wireless tolls installed ,but no kismet...

tz1, any specific reason you are recompiling? The version I downloaded works fine (no extra configuring) on my N800/OS2008. kismet_2007.01.R1b-1.0_armel

Two reasons, one, I can't find whatever you did to download (though someone provided an archive), so I had to rebuild it myself. Two: I may end up doing some special things which might require different options or a recompile, and it was suggested the old version wasn't completely stable or didn't put things back, so I might be able to fix that.

Just curious, but would the official debian kismet package for armel work?
http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/armel/kismet/download
As the eko-repository is gone (and I didn't keep the .deb) I am hesitant to test it on my device but maybe this one runs just fine (with some major configuring, though, as you would have to choose the correct capturing device and stuff in the .conf-files)

It might work. I just don't know if the packages are compatible (i.e. the dependencies, libraries, etc.).
