i am runnin openbsd-current and i ve installed kismet from the ports the only change i did in the kismet.conf is the source=radiotap_bsd_b,ath0,scan
I run kismet, and it doesnt find any networks. It seems that it cant capture any packets. In paraller i run tcpdump -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO and still no captures via tcpdump If i run ifconfig -M ath0 , ifconfig finds networks and tcpdump also reports the packets. i also downloaded the latest stable-devel svn of kismet wireless and still the same thing. No networks. Do you have any idea why is that happening ? (By the way i only want kismet just to show the rssi and noise level in dbm because ifconfig wont show such details. Thank you in advance. Bellow there is a dmesg of my system OpenBSD 4.0-beta (AWMN-CUSTOM) #0: Sun Aug 13 03:11:30 EEST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/AWMN-CUSTOM cpu0: Intel Pentium III ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 932 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,SER,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 402157568 (392732K) avail mem = 358367232 (349968K) using 4256 buffers containing 20209664 bytes (19736K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(f9) BIOS, date 01/06/01, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfb190, SMBIOS rev. 2.2 @ 0xf0800 (43 entries) bios0: VIA Technologies, Inc.
