I installed Kismet onto my Soekris box running Pebble using apt_get, and it
worked like a charm (until I messed up the drivers for my wireless cards). 

Depending on what wireless card and driver you're using, you can also try
the latest wireless tools
(http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html) and use
the command to list available APs. 

Cheers,
Jason

Sure, Kismet doesn't need much hardware to run, it can live comfortably
on a soekris.

Depending on your hardware setup and memory, you can run it on extremely
minimal hardware by running the drone (capture engine and tcp server
components) on the little box and netpiping the packets to a bigger box
for dissection and grouping and all.

was wondering if it is possible to load something like kismet on the Soekris
that would allow me to see what wireless networks it can see.  It's running
Pebble linux now, but it's not a big deal to change to something else if
needed.  I tried loading kismet, but pebble doesn't have a compiler and i'm
not too sure how to get one.
