[opensuse] kismet and ipw 3945
Hello. I try to install kismet (wifi lurker). found on the openSUSE dvd... it don't want to see my intel 3945 card. Say it's not compiled for it, to look at the configure list. but this is the openSUSE version (as is the ipw3945 module) what can I do? README from kismet: ipw3945 Intel/Centrino Linux ipw3945 Capture interface: 'ethX' http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ The Linux IPW3945/Centrino drivers for Intel Core 802.11bga cards. /etc/kismet.conf: # Sources are defined as: # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel] # Source types and required drivers are listed in the README under the # CAPTURE SOURCES section. # The initial channel is optional, if hopping is not enabled it can be used # to set the channel the interface listens on. # YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO BE THE SOURCE YOU WANT TO USE #source=none,none,addme source=ipw3945,eth2,intel_3945 error message: FATAL: Support for capture source type 'ipw3945' was not built. Check the output from 'configure' for more information about why it might not have been compiled in. (NB: I tried to compile it myself with exactly the same result) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

rpm -q kismet
ffiene@erwin:~> rpm -q kismet kismet-2007_01_R1b-71 This is from openSUSE repository. Dunno if i've installed kismet before i've changed source from DVD to online repository, but i think not! zypper se kismet [...] i | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | Paket | kismet | 2007_01_R1b-71 | x86_64 [...] So i thought there is only one version of this, in other way it must be in update repository or packman or whereever, right?

opensuse and kismet site have the same one (old) (kismet-2007-10-R1.tar.gz) but I just discovered than I had no kismet in /opt. so investigate more. remember, I had at first compiled kismet myself, before seing it's in opensuse. I then rpm -e kismet and kismet was no more in rpm database, but it seems it was not completely deleted from my disk (even after removing it in yast, I still could run kismet!!) this was the problem. probably some sort of rpm package misconfig. * rpm -e did not completely remove kismet * yast, I don't know how, did see there was a kismet already installed and as it was the same version, did not change it (or did not change some config file), so the yast version did not work better than original one so I had to * remove kismet with Yast * verify (rpm -qa | grep kis) that there where no more kismet in the rpm database * updatedb & * use mc to remove any kismet occurence * reinstall kismet with yast and now it works... thanks you all jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, this is normal. If you compile it from source, it will be installed in /usr/local/...
this was the problem. probably some sort of rpm package misconfig.
No, RPM database does not know anything about self compiled packages!
* rpm -e did not completely remove kismet * yast, I don't know how, did see there was a kismet already installed and as it was the same version, did not change it (or did not change some config file), so the yast version did not work better than original one
so I had to * remove kismet with Yast * verify (rpm -qa | grep kis) that there where no more kismet in the rpm database * updatedb & * use mc to remove any kismet occurence * reinstall kismet with yast
Yes, this did the trick! ;-) -- Frank Fiene / IT-Services Fon: +49 2526 29-6200 Fax: +49 2526 29-16-6200 mailto: ffiene@veka.com www.veka.com VEKA AG Dieselstr. 8 48324 Sendenhorst Deutschland/Germany Vorstand: Andreas Hartleif (Vorsitzender), Dr. Andreas W.
