I have returned home from my holiday travels with eager anticipation to try kismet with my ralink USB Wi-Fi card. Just as I plugged it in, I realized ...... ...... darwin and viha are the only valid capture sources for OSX! In my shame and desperation I was heard to utter several words, of which my mother would NOT approve. Now I am back to square one with kismet. Is it my karma keeping kismet from working? or is there another answer to this problem?
Actually, I am not exactly back at square one. I accidentally left the capture source in kismet.conf as "darwin" and changed the interface to "en2" which is the ralink. I got the same output as below, even to the point that it indicated the en2 appeared to be a broadcom that already had rfmon set. --caliel On Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:03:00 -0800 (PST), caliel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am away from access to alternate hardware, please let me know what you > find.
