I know this thread is a little old but I was wondering why the ‘normal’ installation doesn’t work.
ex. I got the file from kismets website decompressed the gz file and did a cd into the directory. I ran ./configure which gave me an error message about not having libpcap, which gave me an error saying it didn’t have flex, which then gave me an error saying I didn’t have m4? Also a good note I decompressed all these files in a directory I called ‘programs’ I’m new to linux so a lot of this is new to me. If anyone could point me into the right direction why the installation I used failed I would greatly appreciate it.

I did get the program running through the method described on the site, kudos sir!!!

On Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) w/Broadcomm b43:

/etc/kismet/kismet.conf:

source=b43,wlan0,wifi

WARNING: Sometimes cards don’t always come out of monitor mode
cleanly. If your card is not fully working, you may need to
restart or reconfigure it for normal operation.

To restore: lsmod | grep -i b43 ; rmmod b43; modprobe b43
