at the top of your kismet.conf file:

Code:

# Kismet config file
# Most of the "static" configs have been moved to here -- the command line
# config was getting way too crowded and cryptic.  We want functionality,
# not continually reading --help!

# Version of Kismet config
version=2007.09.R1

# Name of server (Purely for organizational purposes)
servername=Kismet

# User to setid to (should be your normal user)
suiduser=walts

the line "suiduser=" contains your non-priveleged user
kismet drops the privileges automatically.

I don't have a GPS so I can't help specifically with that, but I did notice that the line in the log,

Code:

Dropped privs to user (29999) gid 29999

is the same in my installation as with yours. I'm not sure what that means, but mine does work (on the N800).

HTH

Thanks, but I'm already using the "suiduser=user option". It works find if I disable the GPS, but then it's not very useful for a wardrive. I've attached my kismet.conf file, as it is too long t post.

I didn't see anything obvious, but then I've never used GPS with kismet, so I wouldn't know what to look for. Sorry, maybe someone who's used kismet with an N810 could help.

I am hoping that the new fully opensource driver will bring us a new level of kismet compatibility!

I'm using kismet_2008-05-R1_armel.deb - which is the one you seem to be using :/. Have you disabled automatic search for networks etc?

@Irongeek

Make sure you are using kismet_2008-05-R1_armel.deb, that's the one with the GPS fix.

@qwerty12 that is the one I have, but when I enable the GPS I get the error from above.

Yes, I have that disabled. Since then I have seen it go longer than 5 hours. The longest I've seen is around 8. It will always eventually stop picking traffic up and have to be restarted though. Another annoying thing that I've noticed is that if I leave kismet running overnight, with it plugged into the charger, I'll go and check it the next day and my n800 will be off! At first I thought that when it was done charging, it would then run until it ran out of battery, since Im not sure if it will ever start charging again until someone pulls out the cable and sticks it back in. That would be a major charging flaw though, because it would mean you could never leave your n800 on for large amounts of time while plugged in.

I leave my n800 online almost all the time, even overnight, when it remains plugged in, so I don't know why yours turns itself off.

well, I have a feeling its because something happens while Kismet is running. I've found it before completely frozen and the only way to get it to restart was to remove the battery while kismet was running too.
