Just upgraded from 8.09 to 8.09.1, installed kismet, aircrack-ng,etc like I always do. I edited the /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file to use the wl0 interface, instead of the eth1 as it has has by default since who-knows-when. I then simlinked /etc/kismet/kismet.conf to /etc/kismet.conf.
Nothing new here...
I ran kismet_server, with the -n option for no logging, like I often do, but today, BLAM!! Unable to switch to monitor mode!
console output snippet below:
root@OpenWrt:~# kismet_server -n
Not logging any data
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.
NOTICE: Disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources are able to change channel.
Source 0 (wrt): Enabling monitor mode for wrt54g source interface wl0 channel 6...
FATAL: Could not find 'monitor' private ioctl or use the newer style 'mode monitor' command. Different firmwares have used different methods of entering monitor mode on the wrt54, make sure you are running the latest open-source firmware for your device.
Any thoughts/comments??
