I trying to run Kismet, but I having problem with configuration.
I installed Kismet - An 802.11 Wireless Network Sniffer with Yast.
I follow instruction by http://www.kismetwireless.net/docume...n.shtml#readme

DexterPC@linux-x55n:~> '/etc/kismet.conf'

so how I need to configurate Kismet?

I'm not sure what you are looking for. Editing the "source=" line is essentially all you have to do to get Kismet started up.

Do you get an error when trying to start Kismet? Are you making sure to start it with root privileges (and have properly configured which user it should drop privileges down to after it starts)?

Sorry MS3FGX I founded what I was looking? at my own I did not finished edting the post because I was too lazy.
Steel need help how configurate kismet?

I am a bit confused here. When you run Kismet, it is saying that you don't have any sources configured, but in the first half of your post you list your "source=" line. Are you able to open up the kismet.conf file and get the line written?

Yes, I do not have any sources configured, because when I try to run Kismet.conf I get permission denied even I in with su in terminal.
In first post I was looking how to find out source after reading "kismet read me" article I found out how to find source and after that I edited first post and wrote second. i will be online until 8.00pm now is 4.39pm will try couple things, look more post online and hopely this evening will be able to run kismet.

You don't run the kismet.conf file, you need to open it in a text editor and add that line to it.

I do not have access to kismet.conf, when I click properties>permissions it shows:
owner: root
access: read and write
group: root
access: read and write
other:
access: read only
execute: blank
context: unknown

how to get access to file?
I read suse help (f1) but it explained what I could do if I would have access.

As with almost all system-wide configuration files, kismet.conf can only be modified by the root user or a user with root privileges.

To edit the file, either log in as root or use the "sudo" command.

yeasturday I read about permissions, so I tryed, next morning I did:
chmod ugoa+rw /etc/kismet.conf
I putted permission for all groups later will fix it (it seems to work at list now I can save, replace file)
today will read about monitor mode and will try to run kismet

You will have a long hard journey with Linux if you continue to use chmod just to edit a file.

As MS3FGX stated, to edit system-wide configuration files you need to gain root privileges .

nano is very easy text editor to use.

Use the arrow keys to scroll down to the line that needs to be edited.

the letter "o" not zero, will overwrite the file once you have finished, press 'enter' to confirm overwrite.

will exit the editor.

You will still have root privileges so its just a matter of running kismet.

Once you have exited kismet don't forget to use 'exit' to bring you back to your user account.

Good Luck

thank you AXO for advice absolutely will try and you MS3FGX thanks for huge helps.
I want to ask how you put wireless card in monitor mode? I looked at internet and I found only iwpriv eth1 | monitor mode command, but when i press enter in terminal it shows command not found, maybe you know were is a mistake in command?
