Only if don't already have it installed. :) > You know kismet runs on a lot of os's ... > http://www.kismetwireless.net/screenshot.shtml .. but having to pick the right monitor mode for the right card just to get it to work was an absolute pain. I finally managed to get it working on my netbook w/ an atheros chipset; but it was fiddly. And I'm -hacking- on the wireless code at the moment. :) (I then just rebooted back into XP mode to run inssider, as all I wanted was RSSIs.) That said, Kismet is great if you want to do detailed wireless debugging. :) It just isn't easy. :) That (all) said, it wouldn't be hard to write a *NIX Inssider clone; it "just" uses the card-reported RSSI from channel scans. Kismet does a lot more and thus wants monitor/intercept/debugging modes (which is why it's fiddly.) adrian -- - Xenion - http://www.xenion.com.au/ - VPS Hosting - Commercial Squid Support - - $24/pm+GST entry-level VPSes w/ capped bandwidth charges available in WA - -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
