Re: Kismet on OSX 10.5.1 Leopard
I am away from access to alternate hardware, please let me know what you find. I have not found a resolution as yet. I saw you also responded to a post at the Kismet site, perhaps one of the 3 of us will find a solution. --C trolley wrote:

I'm getting the same error on a Powerbook G4. Did you figure anything out? I'm going to try it with a Ralink USB dongle and see if I have any more luck.

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 <caliel@caliel.no-ip.org> wrote:

UPDATE: The kismet team is having trouble getting info on how to set RFMon in the Airport drivers that ship with Leopard. So we must wait. On Wed, 28 Nov 2007 09:36:40 -0500, caliel <caliel@caliel.no-ip.org> wrote:

Any reason not to use KisMac? -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>
Paul, Sorry for the delayed response, but I wanted to make sure that the thread is complete for others who are researching. From the KisMAC faq (http://kismac.macpirate.ch/wiki/doku.php?id=faq) ----- If you've updated to OS 10.4.10, you MUST use r239. OS 10.5 (Leopard) breaks AirPort Extreme passive mode support again, but shouldn't break support for other devices (USB and PCMCIA). ----- This is what the Kismet team told me they are also facing. I assume both parties are working on the issue, but it seems to be a communication problem between Apple developers and Kis[Mm]?? developers. Naturally, the proper solution is to use 1.4.10, then I could use either of them. Pioneers, as they say, take the arrows :) --caliel On Sat, 8 Dec 2007 19:33:00 -0800, "paul beard" <paulbeard@gmail.com> wrote:
