Subject: | Sending out Probe Requests |
Date: | 00:00:38 24/04/2006 |
I know that this issue has been brought up before but I never found a real answer. Everytime I start up Kismet, I detect myself as a suspicious client sending out probe requests but never associating to a network.
If I issue
# iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
then run Ethereal, I see all the traffic that I would expect from my surrounding wireless networks. If I then startup kismet, I see all kinds of Probe Responses to my network card MAC (although I never see any requests).
I've tried everything that I could think of to get it to stop but nothing seems to work reliably.
I don't want to just filter out my MAC, because I don't want everyone else detecting me either.
I'm running kismet version 2005.04.R1 on kernel 2.6.13-15-smp with ipw3945 drivers.
