Hi,

I'm trying to get Kismet working from the command line. I'm not very experienced with the command line so this is proving to be quite trying.

I have a Dell Mini Inspiron 1010. I installed Kismet from the command line, which seems to have worked but I seem to have run into a couple of problems at this point.

1) I don't know how to change the source= line in the kismet.conf file.

2) I have a Broadcom wireless card and from what I've seen on various web pages this could be a problem.

I've tried using backtrack 3 but this doesn't support many of the features of my laptop. I tried this using a bootable USB drive. I tried the USB drive on my desktop but after initially encouraging graphics and scrolling scripts the screen just went dead!

I've got a Belkin USB wireless adapter as well but with problem (1) above I haven't got very far with it!

Can anyone help??

Kind regards,

Phillip
