Hi,

Why are you compiling kismet? The latest stable version is already in the repositories.

Hi
Why not install the default from the dvd, it’s the latest? If you look
at the src rpm, there are a number of patches required.

I’ve tried installing the version from repositorys. But, it doesn’t work with my wireless board. I’m using intel wireless 3945. I’ve read that I need to compile from source to use Kismet.

When I install from yast, Kismet can’t find my interface. Even after of editing the kismet.conf

Hi
In that case you need to download the src rpm of kismet and then use
the patches to get rid of the error.

What options do you need to add to the kismet configure command? If you
need to add some then just edit the spec file and rebuild the rpm.

First, you can use the distribution supplied kismet just fine. No need to build for yourself.

The second part is the correct configuration, whihc is harder, since it does not work out of the box.

/etc/kismet.conf

the source line:
source=iwl3945,wlan0,wlan0

or similar. (have my laptop at work so cannot check currently)
