how to setup kismet.conf on Ubuntu
- by Registered User
I installed Kismet on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine as apt-get install kismet
every thing seems to work fine.
but when I launch it I see following error
kismet
Launching kismet_server: //usr/bin/kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng)
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
NOTICE: Disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources are able to
change channel.

FATAL: Please configure at least one packet source. Kismet will not
function if no packet sources are defined in kismet.conf or on the
command line. Please read the README for more information about
configuring Kismet.
Kismet exiting.
Done.
I followed this guide
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kismet-an-802-11-wireless-network-detector-sniffer-and-intrusion-detection-system.html#more-1776
how ever in kismet.conf I am not clear with following line
source=none,none,addme
as to what should I change this to.
lspci -vnn shows

So what should I be putting in place of
source=none,none,addme
with output I mentioned above ?
