Subject:Kismet setup on Linksys WRT54G - success!
Date:01:11:26 18/10/2003

It works great and WRT54G remains operational, i.e. you still can use it to provide wireless connectivity. Here is the short version of what you need to do.

1. Get WRT54G firmware v1.30.7
2. Install Wrt54g_tools, make sure that you can get shell and copy files to the router (http://cj.colliertech.org/swn/)
3. Compile and install Kismet on your workstation
4. Crosscompile kismet_drone for mipsel.
5. Create dummy kismet_monitor script consisting of one line:
#!/bin/sh
Edit kismet_drone.conf appropriately. You are going to use generic capture and allow logins from your local network:
source=generic,eth2,Kismet
allowedhosts=192.168.1.0/24
6. Copy kismet_drone, edited kismet_drone.conf and the dummy kismet_monitor to your WRT54G box.
7. Login to your WRT54G. Put wireless interface in monitor mode and start kismet_drone
8. Configure kismet_server on your local workstation to use drone source and launch kismet_server
source=drone,192.168.1.1:3501,drone
enablesources=drone
9. Launch kismet_client and enjoy the awesome power of Kismet :-)

If someone is interested in more details, please, post to the forum, I'll try to make my installation notes available.


Cheers,
Alex
