kismet Can be found in extras-devel, needs a little of exploring and figuring before you can use it easily

You ONLY need kismet, avoid the plugins for now.

Run from terminal as root.

Hi,

have just gone into terminal and written root and pressed enter then typed kismet to which it started up this dos looking screen which i am given an option yes or no to. When i press yes or no i get an error saying: localhost:2501 will attempt to reocnnect in 5 seconds.
Is there something else i should do?

Thanks again

use tab key to navigate in kismet and to get into topbars use the esc key You should start a kismet server so please choose yes and the start server... turn on your brightness to level 5 as dark grey is hard to read with black background =/
