"FATAL: Unknown capture source type" error from Kismet
 

Hi, I am trying to run Kismet on a laptop with Fedora Core 1
and a D-Link DWL-650+ card. The card works fine and I am
able to connect to the internet.

However, when I try to run Kismet, I get the following error:

[root@localhost ~/kismet-2004-04-R1]# ./kismet_server
Will drop privs to user (500) gid 500
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'orinco' in source 'orinco,eth0,orincosource'

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have looked at other threads and they say that 'orinco' is correct,
not 'acx100' which is the name of the driver I downloaded for my
wireless card.

Thank you.

Read the documentation. Kismet version 04-R1 knows about acx100 cards, it uses a source type of acx100.

Orinoco is spelled "orinoco" not "orinco".

If you have a reccent version of the acx100 driver it might be wlan0 not eth0.

Hey! Thank you! :) I finally found how to config source and kismet runs :)
Btw I tryed injections tests, followed few advices about how to use but get allways "No Answer" message so I would ask if you know some patch or procedure to enable it for ralink (RT2870) chipset based wireless card.
Thanks in advance.
