Hi All,

I've followed the instructions and all is working, I have even installed everything manually from the Aircrack site, however the txpower of the card will only set to a max of 5dBm (3mW).

I should be able to change this with below

iwconfig wlan0 txpower 6

I get the following error though

Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

If I choose 5 or below it will adjust the power, does anyone know if this is correct, maybe it is being reported wrongly.

Also I now seem to be able to see less Wireless networks than before, so I guess the txpower is wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also I don't know if this is correct but I solved the kismet problem with the following being added to the /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file

source=rt8180,wlan0,ALFA and not source=r8187,wlan0,ALFA

I guess it's wrong, but it works.
