Hi all Kismet people;

I'm making nice progress. Read the Kismet README, found some sites that have usage tips, and went through all the help screens and the conf files. Still have a few questions, though.

* Is the 'readme' the manual? No other docs seem to be available on the Kismet site. Would love to read and not have to bug ITT people.

* The Readme hints that the "!" and "." have something to do with decay, but not much detail is provided..

* I have an n810. The confs that came with tte .deb specify

source=nokia770,wlan0,wlan

, but the readme hints there is a driver for the n810 :

nokia8x0 Nokia 800,810
http://maemo.org/
Nokia 8x0 capture interface, including support for
FCS validation.
The Nokia drivers appear to exhibit instability while
capturing where they stop reporting packets. This may
be minimized by setting the Network Scan interval to
"never" in the control panel->networking section.

I tried

source=nokia8x0,wlan0,wlan

, and

source=nokia810,wlan0,wlan

, but those do not work - kismet complaind about 'no such driver' and would not run. The 770 drivers seem to work for the most part, but I'm curious about the error. Is that because the .deb was compiled with just the 770 driver?

* Signal strength is not reported. Is that correctable?

Sorry to shot gun all these questions, but I will put the answers in the wiki.

Thanks,

Steve
