kismet question
I've been trying to run kismet and nothing really happens. It's able to get my card into monitor mode but I don't really know what's up. I'm running fedora 10 with atheros 5007 chipset and just installed kismet from the repository. What is the difference between the kismet server and kismet client. Do I have both of them? Do both of them run when i do "sudo kismet"? here is the output after doing "sudo kismet":
