Hello everybody,
i want to use kismet to check out public WLAN points in my city. But i have a problem: kismet runs just fine, it detects all networks, but it doesn't show the right signal strength. To be correct, it shows the SAME signal strength for ALL found networks (mostly -122 or 0), which just can't be.
In Windows the signal strength is just displayed fine.
Is there any other program to check out signal strength in linux (console program would be nice)? Or better: can anyone tell me how to fix that in kismet?
I am using an old Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook with a Allnet WLAN Card which has a prism2 (or 3) chipset.
I am running kismet with 'kismet -c orinoco,eth0,orinoco', maybe i should take another driver?
EDIT: I am using Knoppix 3.7 Kernel 2.4
Thanks in advance,
ZeD
