New channel hopping config dr New config options for channel hopping are in. This should make it simple to set up for new users, while giving powerusers complete control over channel hopping on individual cards. Code to drive this in kismet_server is still being written.
# Do we channelhop?
channelhop=true

# How many channels per second do we hop?  (1-10)
channelvelocity=5

# Do we split channels between cards on the same spectrum?  This means if 
# multiple 802.11b capture sources are defined, they will be offset to cover
# the most possible spectrum at a given time.  This also controls splitting
# fine-tuned sourcechannels lines which cover multiple interfaces (see below)
splitchannels=true

# Basic channel hopping control:
# These define the channels the cards hop through for various frequency ranges
# supported by Kismet.   More finegrain control is available via the 
# "sourcechannels" configuration option, but these lists are used for basic
# channel hopping.
80211bchannels=1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10
# Alternately, users outside of the US or with firmware which supports the
# full range of possible channels will probably want the extended channel
# list:
# 80211bchannels=1,7,13,2,8,3,14,9,4,10,5,11,6,12
80211achannels=36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64

# Fine-tuning channel hopping control:
# The sourcechannels option can be used to set the channel hopping for 
# specific interfaces, and to control what interfaces share a list of 
# channels for split hopping.  This can also be used to easily lock
# one card on a single channel while hopping with other cards.
# Any card without a sourcechannel definition will use the standard hopping
# list.
sourcechannels=sourcename[,sourcename]:ch1,ch2,ch3,...chN

# ie, for us channels on the source 'prism2source' (same as normal channel
# hopping behavior):
sourcechannels=prism2source:1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10

# Given two capture sources, "prism2a" and "prism2b", we want prism2a to stay
# on channel 6 and prism2b to hop normally.  By not setting a sourcechannels 
# line for prism2b, it will use the standard hopping.
sourcechannels=prism2a:6

# To assign the same custom hop channel to multiple sources, or to split the 
# same custom hop channel over two sources (if splitchannels is true), list
# them all on the same sourcechannels line:
sourcechannels=prism2a,prism2b,prism2c:1,6,11
