Hi,

did anybody successfully run kismet on kamikaze ?

I know it worked fine on white russian, but i am not successfull on kamikaze.

I changed the source-string string in the config to:

source=bcm43xx,wl0,wireless

but this is what I get:

# kismet_server -f /etc/kismet/kismet.conf 
Using alternate config file: /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
Suid priv-dropping disabled.  This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
Source 0 (wireless): Enabling monitor mode for bcm43xx source interface wl0 channel 6...
Source 0 (wireless): Opening bcm43xx source interface wl0...
FATAL: pcap reported netlink type 1 (EN10MB) for wl0.  This probably means you're not in RFMON mode or your drivers are reporting a bad value.  Make sure you have the correct drivers and that entering monitor mode succeeded.

Is there something wrong in my config, or is there a (known) problem with the driver ?

Thank you!

Did you ever get an answer to this question?

Will not work with 7.09. Compile and try with latest trunk again, maybe it works there...

The discussion might have continued from here.
