hi,

i don't know if this was allready a topic here:
does kismet run on freerunner?

i installed debian and the kismet package.
now i have to insert the right source into the kismet.conf file.

i tried
source=ath5k,eth0,wifi

but all i get is:
debian-gta02:~/progs# 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.
Source 0 (wifi): Enabling monitor mode for ath5k source interface eth0 channel 
6...
FATAL: Failed to set monitor mode: Invalid argument.  This usually means your 
drivers either do not support monitor mode, or use a different mechanism for 
getting to it.  Make sure you have a version of your drivers that support 
monitor mode, and consult the troubleshooting section of the README.

thanx,
jhig.
