Hi everyone,

I asked the same question on the kismet list the other day and was not able=
 to=20
get any concrete answers, so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light.

I've built kismet from source with the latest stable code, with the latest=
=20
snapshot code, and from the port. =A0They all start fine (though the port=20
doesn't seem to actually install SUID, but that's nothing that sudo won't=20
fix) but never log a single packet. =A0I'm using an Orinoco Gold at device =
wi0,=20
set to channel hop. =A0I've also tried setting it to not hop on the channel=
 of=20
a known AP that is sending out broadcasts and it still doesn't pick up=20
anything - no access points, no packets, not even garbage packets or beacon=
s.

Can someone either help me with what I'm doing wrong, or point me towards a=
=20
card that fits at least some of 1. works with Kismet on Freebsd 2. has an=20
external antenna jack (already have an antenna for my Orinoco) and 3.=20
Supports WAP? =A0I swear this card used to work fine, even relatively recen=
tly,=20
like back in February or March.

When I built from source I configured with --enable-syspcap and used=20
source=3Dradiotap_fbsd_b,wi0,wtapb,10 as my source.

Can someone please point me in the right direction, I feel like I'm missing=
=20
something here.

Thanks in advance,

=46ish
