Setting up Kismat in Ubuntu 8.10

Getting up Kismet running on Ubuntu 8.10. ( HP Laptop)

1. Open up a Terminal: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
2. sudo apt-get install kismet
3. sudo gedit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
4. Change
source=none,none,addme
   to
   source=ipw2200,eth1,wifi
   • If you don’t know your relevant network driver, view the Kismet Readme and scroll down to the section “12. Capture Sources”. My driver is ipw2200.
   • If you don’t know your interface name, use iwconfig to find your wireless interface (mine is eth1).
     
5. Save the file
6. sudo kismet
