Kismet not working

[t_timmy2005]

Hi all

wondering if anyone can help me. when i try to start kismet i am getting this error messege:

Launching kismet_server: //usr/bin/kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng)
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
NOTICE: Disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources are able to change channel.
Source 0 (intel): Enabling monitor mode for iwl3945 source interface wlan0 channel 6...
FATAL: GetIFFlags: interface wlan0: No such device
Done.


i dont know why it is looking for wlan0 as i have ath0. Could someone please tell me how to get kismet to work.

Thanks in advance

Just like the other 50 threads with this question, edit the kismet.conf .
