Newbie question.....

So I installed both of the required programs (wireless tools and aircrack-ng) but how do I run them ? When installing both, the N800 didnt ask me to specifiy a location where they should be installed to so I can't find the programs anywhere. They are in the application manager but how do I start them there?

thanks,

Phil

They are command line based tools, so you'll need to run them from xterm ('osso-xterm'), with root ('gainroot').

it says "not found" when I enter "gainroot". Is there a recommendable, newbie friendly tutorial to xterm ? explaining how to become root, how to run command line applications and all that ?

Thanks

huh ? I thought "gain root!" is a command and not an application.

When searching on Maemo for "Gainroot" it returns the error message

"Applications

There is no result matching the search criteria. Please try again."

install wireless tools then it's just a matter of
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

What ????

Anyway. I simpy skipped the "become root" step as the "gainroot" command didn't work ("not found") and inserted "airodump-ng wlan0" in the command line. it then said "airodump-ng" not found although wirelesstools and aircrack are installed.
Could someone please help ? Thanks.

That is exactly your problem: you need to be root for airodump (and iwconfig) to work.
Find and install the becomeroot package, then the command to become root is
sudo gainroot
