Hi there, Hi there, I''m trying to run kismet-200508.r1 on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 (PC-BSD). When i''m starting ''kismet'' I get the an error: [...] # kismet Server options: none Client options: none Starting server... Waiting for server to start before starting UI... Will drop privs to glr (1001) gid 1001 No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled. Enabling channel hopping. Enabling channel splitting.

Check if you have enabled the wireless. My laptop has a button for switching it on. Then load the firm-ware, I''ve intel card so I loaded the iwi-firmware from ports. Finally use /etc/rc.d/netif start. That should find the Wi-Fi network and it should be configured. After that you can use kismet. Regards, www.VijayKiran.com

Hi Richard,
May be you should start over. I''ll try to explain how I configured my
wifi.
1. Switched the Wireless on. (And checked in Windows :P).
1a. Made sure that I''ve intel wireless chipset.
2. Added following line to /boot/loader.conf
if_iwi_load="YES"
3. Installed iwicontrol port
4. Reboot
5. and then the command, which will be just silent
iwicontrol iwi0 -d /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware -m bss
6. sysinstall - configured iwi0 interface to use DHCP, no IPV6. You can
do it from gnome -> Desktop Menu -> Administration -> Networking ->
selecting iwi0 adapter and in the properties configured it to use DHCP.
6. Start the interfaces
/etc/rc.d/netif start
Which will check for the DHCP offers.
Also
"dmesg | grep iw" gives me
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xffdfd000-0xffdfdfff irq 9 at
device 12.0 on pci2
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf
iwi0: Please load firmware
Finally after configuration
shire# ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::212:f0ff:fe0e:dabf%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet 192.168.2.188 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
ether 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/24Mbps)
status: associated
ssid foss.in channel 11 bssid 00:0f:cb:a1:cd:ff
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100
Ofcourse the status is associated because there''s a wireless access
point.
