Hmm, I have it enabled however, I sill get an error that it's not
compatible with the Intel machines yet. It could be that I don't have
build 158...

There’s a driver with the latest build I have (158 I believe) that is called Airport Extreme Passive Mode – or something to that effect. I had to completely trash my existing kismac, and install the latest build, and it took a couple tries, but the driver eventually showed up. I believe it’s a standard option now though – and if you use the kismac installer, I don’t know why you wouldn’t see it.
One word of advice – it’s tedious to get any results with it – I’ve captured over a million packets, and no IVs, and it doesn’t seem to capture data packets AT ALL, even when there are plenty of data packets shooting around.
The problem, is that I can’t seem to find ANY prism2 usb dongles available ANYWHERE for sale – at least under $100.

Sorry for the misunderstanding but, how did you make the Airport Extreme card run under passive mode on the Macbook? If that option is in the 158 build, where can I find it?

You need to get a USB dongle that lets you do packet injects, and auth floods to get real IV packets. Passive mode on the airport cards is pretty much useless.

I’m running the latest (158 I believe?) build of Kismac, with a Macbook. I’m using the Airport Extreme driver in passive mode to capture packets. Here’s the puzzling part – Kismac captures tons of packets, but when I look at the details, NONE of these packets (I’ve let it run up over 1 million packets in one case) are ever IVs or DATA. I can understand not coming up with any IVs, but I don’t see why I would never ever capture any data. At first I thought this was just a fluke of my area, but I tried it today in the downtown of a large city with 20+ access points in range, and still no Data or IVs.
If I’m capturing from access points that are BEING USED at that moment, how can there be no data?
What’s going on here – is this normal?
