I got my laptop running with monitor mode support for my Intel 3945 under Gentoo. Now, I’d like to look into Kismet. Here’s how it went down:

• emerge kismet
• Edit /etc/kismet.conf
• suiduser=xxxxxx
• source=ipw3945,eth1,kismet
• gps=false
• Start kismet and it looks to run

Right now I don’t have any other wireless clients up and running, so I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to actually watch some running traffic. This looks like a good start so far though.

Gentoo, Kismet, Wifi

Took a first stab at Gentoo yesterday on my Dell Latitude D820. So far I’ve got everything working except the Intel 3945 wireless adapter. It’s up in KDE with nVidai support. Eth0 is working. Most things look pretty good. In the process though, I found several good links on Gentoo and the hardware in the D820:

• Gentoo Linux on a Dell Latitude D820 Notebook
• HARDWARE Dell Latitude D820
• ipw3945 wireless drivers
• HARDWARE ipw3945
• Gentoo Handbook – Wireless Networking
