After a clean install and proper configuration of Kismet, running It returns an error saying. "FATAL: Support for capture source type 'bcm43xx' was not built. Check the output from 'configure' for more information about why it might not have been compiled in." Wireless card is configured correctly and works fine.

Actually *NO* wireless support was built. I re-emerged it last night only to find that. I looked watched the ./configure script exectute and watched it complain that it couldn't find the kernel header file "linux/wireless.h". I then tried running a ./configure on the package myself (meaning NOT using portage to do it) and found that the configure script ran just fine. I nano'ed the .ebuild and found this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ src_compile() { # the configure script only honors '--disable-foo' local config="--disable-gpsmap" if ! use ncurses; then config="${config} --disable-curses --disable-panel" fi # need to set CC and CXX for FEATURES=confcache, bug #129479 CC=$(tc-getCC) CXX=$(tc-getCXX) \ econf \ ${config} \ --with-linuxheaders="${KV_DIR}"/include || die "econf failed" einfo "You may safely ignore the warning about the missing .depend file" emake dep || die "emake dep failed" emake || die "emake failed" } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I found that if I took out the "--with-linuxheaders" part of it, it configured 100% find. Here is the way I edited it: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ src_compile() { # the configure script only honors '--disable-foo' local config="--disable-gpsmap" if ! use ncurses; then config="${config} --disable-curses --disable-panel" fi # need to set CC and CXX for FEATURES=confcache, bug #129479 CC=$(tc-getCC) CXX=$(tc-getCXX) \ econf \ ${config} || die "econf failed" einfo "You may safely ignore the warning about the missing .depend file" emake dep || die "emake dep failed" emake || die "emake failed" } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (notice I ONLY took out the header file check) Now, I'm no Code-ist, and have never written an .ebuild so I have no idea what this edit could break down-the-line (nor do I have any idea why it failed to begin with since the file is indeed here on my system), but, it works 100% fine here on my machine (Orinoco chip). I also use the 2.6.19 (suspend2) kernel. The file is there: # ls -l /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-suspend2-r1/include/linux/wireless.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41219 Jan 8 07:49 /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-suspend2-r1/include/linux/wireless.h Anyway, I'm not sure what the problem is, but that's waht I did to work around it.
I am getting the same error while trying to use kismet with madwifi on amd64, 2.6.19-suspend2. The problem is that ./configure cannot be used with --with-linuxheaders=/usr/src/linux/include, but with --with-linuxheaders=/usr/src/linux It seems as a bug in ebuild. The line --with-linuxheaders="${KV_DIR}"/include || die "econf failed" should be --with-linuxheaders="${KV_DIR}" || die "econf failed"
Removing the line worked form me, Ill have to try changing the line to --with-linuxheaders="${KV_DIR}" || die "econf failed" next.
(In reply to comment #3) > Removing the line worked form me, Ill have to try changing the line to > --with-linuxheaders="${KV_DIR}" || die "econf failed" next. Yup, works for me too. Commiting it to the tree as I write this. Thanks for the report.
