yesterday i was triyng to install kismet and aircrack i had done these step: installing build-essential installing aircrack-ng installing kismet installing airsnort(not founded but pretty sure is in aircrack pack) installing linux-source installing linux-header(he ask to me whic i wanted to istall so i done "uname -a" to find my kernel version and then installed the propred headers.) installing sharutils. all seem ok but i read that i need to patch my Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) (result of lspci) after this i went to linux wireless site to download drivers. i have downloaded both stable version and bleeding edge, even the madwifi pack.. but for all of those packets when i uncompress it and from terminal i run make it end whit the same arror as always: error2. i paste the error here: /home/acid_burn/Scaricati/madwifi-0.9.4/ath/if_ath.c:9926: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'priv' /home/acid_burn/Scaricati/madwifi-0.9.4/ath/if_ath.c:9928: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'open' make[3]: *** [/home/acid_burn/Scaricati/madwifi-0.9.4/ath/if_ath.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/home/acid_burn/Scaricati/madwifi-0.9.4/ath] Error 2 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/acid_burn/Scaricati/madwifi-0.9.4] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic' make: *** [modules] Error 2 the error is not complete i will paste all if needed cause is a little long.. another thing, when i run kismet they give me this error: 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. FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'source=ath5k' in source 'source=ath5k,wlan0,atheros' Done. i changed source=ath5k,wlan0,atheros whit a bilion of things but still not work.. Hope someone can aid me cause i think is something stupid i do not done... last question: i think the kismet error it depend on the fact that i do not changed my wireless driver, is this true?or is the source the problem? my kernel now is 2.6.31-14generic release. regardles(hope is right written :P).
