    Wireless Monitor Apps

    Hello All,

    I'm searching for a wireless monitor to show me the signal strength and WAP's available to me. I have yet to find one that works. I tried the built in one that comes with Gnome, but it wont find my card (even though the card does work). I was wondering what everyone else has had success with. I am running a Cisco Aironet 340 card, 2.4 kernel, Gnome 2.4. Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanx!

    Peace,
    John

    no? its quite fun, its can crack WEP, witch i have no real need to do, but its funny to go to a friends house and hell tell me to wait while he gets all the wep for me...he comes down and im surfing his net....i dont belive in crackers, but it is amusing in a non destructive sense.

    I can't get either of them to work. I tried kismet, but it didnt show anything. Airsnort did the same thing. I can't seem to find any error messages to help me fix whatever went wrong. Any help, or other suggestions are welcome. Thanx.

    Peace,
    John

    I think that you'll have to set the mode of your card to monitor. You can use iwconfig to do this, but you may have to have a hacked driver to allow this mode (the airport does).
