I'm looking for suggestions for wardriving tools that will run on the N810. Well, not really wardriving per the Wikipedia definition (mapping the location of wireless networks), nor breaking into encrypted networks, which seems to be the aim of many of the tools in this area. I'm just looking for a tool that rapidly scans for WiFi networks, and plays an alert sound when it finds one that is open, and of adequate strength to likely support a successful connection. Searching turns up: A bunch of threads on talk.maemo.org on WiFi Etiquette. several recommendations for Kismet: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?s=a55b5bbe8072b529efe01499d8cd0759&t=16131&highlight=wardriving mention that there's a Kismet port available: http://wigle.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1167 how to install Kismet on a N800, but ends with a note that Kismet is no longer available, and suggests aircrack-ng: http://blog.didierstevens.com/2007/11/02/quickpost-installing-kismet-on-a-n800/ And that links to a repository that has versions for up to Chinook, but not Diablo. More importantly, both Kismet and aircrack-ng are overkill for what I'm looking for, and unless they provided an audible alert when a qualifying network was found, they wouldn't really gain me anything. (I also read that Kismet puts the network interface into a state that requires a reboot before you can use it to connect normally, which would be rather inconvenient.) If there isn't an existing tool, perhaps something can be cobbled together with a command line script to put the interface into hunt mode and polling a /sys or /proc kernel file for found networks? -Tom _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
