http://askubuntu.com – I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 in my computer with an Atheros AR5007 wireless card. I want to use Kismet but when I run it it starts displaying the message: ERROR: Packet source 'wlan0' failed to set channel X: mac80211_setchannel() It keeps displaying the same for every channel except channel 1. I have installed the compat-wireless-3.6.6-1 drivers and patched them with the following patch in order to use them with aircrack-ng. I have installed the latest version of Kismet in the git repository and I even tried with the svn but it keeps displaying the same error. I also have set the kismet. (HowTos)

This Kismet tutorial provides a basic framework for using Kismet drones. Kismet is an 802.11 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g,

I would like to test security of my home wireless network, but I have lot of troubles with aircrack-ng. I am using 12.04 LTS, linux-3.2.0-27-generic-pae. My wireless card is BCM4311 (14e4:4311).

Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer.

Hi all, I am a newbie using Kismet and I would like to ask you about a little problem:

I'm using Kismet on Backtrack 4 with 2 different network adapters (not at the same time):

#1: Intel 5100 AGN built in laptop wireless card, using iwlagn module on BT4;

#2: Lynksys wusb54gc usb adapter, using rt73usb module on BT4;

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat onto an IBM T22 Laptop with an EDIMax EW-7108PCg wireless LAN card.

Wireless network security flaws are well documented but often very hard for the common person to understand. I will be showing you how to use kismet with out even having to install Linux, or compile kismet.

i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer, and tried to airodump, but noticed that its stuck on 11th channel, when i specified only channel 6 during scan, it gave me hosts from channel 6 and 11, but then i ran aireplay-ng and it runs on 11th channel as well, even when i put my card into monitor mode with a specific channel option. btw my chipset is AR9285 with ath9k driver.
