The current kismet ebuild has a bug in it (from the kismet devs). The bug causes essids to not be detected and product increased noise. A fix for this problem is this... Edit kis_packsources.cc with the following. Original: sourcetracker->RegisterPacketsource("acx100, 1, "IEEE80211b", 6, pcapsource_wextfcs_registrant, monitor_acx100, unmonitor_acx100, chancontrol_wext, 1); Change To: sourcetracker->RegisterPacketsource("acx100, 1, "IEEE80211b", 6, pcapsource_wext_registrant, monitor_acx100, unmonitor_acx100, chancontrol_wext, 1); Several people have tried this and report it to work and I can confirm this on my system. Can this feature be added in to the ebuild please?
Fixed in net-wireless/kismet-2005.08.1-r1. Thank you for reporting this.
