OpenWRT Kismet Files - Part Deux

So, here are a couple of things to do after flashing your router.

After flash:

Edit /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf on server to add in drone source.

ncsource=drone:host=x.x.x.x,port=2501,name=drone1

(if you have more drones, add them here as well:
ncsource=drone:host=x.x.x.x,port=2501,name=drone2
ncsource=drone:host=x.x.x.x,port=2501,name=drone3
)

Edit /etc/kismet/kismet_drone.conf on drone to add source.

ncsource=wlan0

You can also set allowedhosts in the kismet.conf/kismet_drone.conf files if you want only specific hosts to talk to the drones.

Drone setting:
droneallowedhosts=x.x.x.0/24,x.x.x.x

Server setting:
listen=tcp://hostip:2501

Set your timezone on the drone:
echo timezone > /etc/TZ

Example: echo EST+5 > /etc/TZ

date mmddhhmmccyy

Example: date 111212002009

man i want to thank-you for trying to get this to work but i just cant seem to get it to work

i have a wrt54gl v1.1
i flashed with your trx and bin files with no problems
i edit the way you say to and i dont have no problem

everything makes connection (it seems like) but nothing ever comes up on the kismet_client on the linux box

im running debian 5.03 squeeze with all updates and the kismet server/client from the svn you provided

x-wrt has this
http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/brcm47xx/no_pppoe/ which is compiled nov 10th and they have this in the packages dir
kismet-drone_2009-06-R1-2_brcm47xx.ipk 10-Nov-2009 20:52 193K but i cant seem to get those to work either....

do you ever get on irc on freenode server and goto #openwrt or #kismet?
my nick name is en1gma and i and many other people would prob love if you could help us out.

Do you get any error messages on the server or drone? I'm just trying to think this through. Unfortunately, I can't get on the irc channel from work, but if you can post any errors, it might jar something.

Hi Michael, I seem to be having issues trying to compile the older versions(2006-04-R1) on my linux desktop.
I can get the drone running fine.(2006-04-R1-wrt54)

I am running ubuntu 11.10 and would like to know what version you using for the drone? and what version you are using for the server/client?

Thanks
