D-Link DWL-G650 in monitor mode

[Jimbo-3d]

Hi everyone. I am new to this forums and I start with a noob question:
Is the D-Link DWL-G650 card incompatible with the monitor mode?

When i try to load Kismet from the KDE menu it start and then close.

I have tried to load it by writting in the console the configuration of my card and it also give an error. And i have also tried to change it to monitor mode with the iwconfig command but i am not archieving any results.

Can anyone help me?
Should I buy another card?



Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english :)

I need the help as soon posible because otherwise i could not change the card.

Thanks

I finally made up how to set the card into monitor mode, so i will just post it in case someone has the same problem:
1-First start airmon-ng, where you will see 2 interfaces: wifi0 and ath0. None of them can be set to monitor mode.
2-Write "airmon-ng start wifi0" this will start a VAP called ath1 that will be set in monitor mode.
3-To use this interface in Kismet: just open the console and write "kismet start ath1"


Sorry for my english, I hope this could help someone.

Jimbo,

I do that with the same card and Kismet but Kismet only runs for a short bit (up to 3 minutes max) then stops collecting info.

Anybody have a clue why this occurs? I also use kismet.conf but after much googling.....don't find clear kismet.conf recommendations for this card.

The aircrack programs work better than kismet....not sure why the poor kismet performance.

I have the same card ver B5 and I cant get kismet to work either, should i get another card like the netgear 511t everyone is talking about. I really need this to work.

piccolo,

Why not just use airodump-ng instead of Kismet? Then, you dont need another card.

have try startkismet-ng ?

Ok here is the thing my card is not being seen by the system, when I try to use VMware and install it under windows it is only seeing the bridged connections which is the Ethernet. Now when I boot my PC from BT2 it is not start with the cardbus support, i see a message saying something like "use backtrack no pcmcia boot parameter or something like that."

I don't have to use kismet, just whatever i can do for the card to be seen, and allow packet injection, monitoring mode and all the other fun stuff.

I just start kismet via the icon without doing any commands and it works fine for me on both of my cards.
