Kismet on OSX 10.5.1 Leopard

[Walt Scrivens]

No, it was only working in active mode.  I passive mode it runs for a  
few seconds and dies.  It also leaves the AirPort disconnected.   
Here's teh dump file it created - I don't know if that will help anyone.

Model: MacBookPro1,1, BootROM MBP11.0055.B08, 2 processors, Intel Core  
Duo, 2.16 GHz, 2 GB
Graphics: kHW_ATIr520Item, ATY,RadeonX1600, spdisplays_pcie_device,  
256 MB
Memory Module: BANK 0/DIMM0, 1 GB, DDR2 SDRAM, 667 MHz
Memory Module: BANK 1/DIMM1, 1 GB, DDR2 SDRAM, 667 MHz
AirPort: spairport_wireless_card_type_airport_extreme (0x168C, 0x86),  
1.3.2
Bluetooth: Version 2.1.0f14, 2 service, 1 devices, 1 incoming serial  
ports
Network Service: Parallels NAT, Ethernet, en3
Network Service: Parallels Host-Guest, Ethernet, en4
Serial ATA Device: ST9100824AS, 93.16 GB
Parallel ATA Device: MATSHITADVD-R   UJ-857
USB Device: Built-in iSight, Micron, high_speed, 500 mA
USB Device: iPod, Apple, high_speed, 500 mA
USB Device: Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad, Apple Computer,  
full_speed, 500 mA
USB Device: Bluetooth USB Host Controller, Apple, Inc., full_speed,  
500 mA
USB Device: IR Receiver, Apple Computer, Inc., full_speed, 500 mA

On the whole I'm pretty discouraged with KisMac and would rather use  
plain vanilla kismet, except that does not work either.  From what I  
read it's all Apple's fault and I don't know if there will ever be a  
workaround.

Fortunately I have a Zaurus and a Nokia 800, both of which run kismet  
just fine.  I can take the files created by either to the Mac for  
analysis with Wireshark.  (Now if CACE Technologies would come out  
with a Mac version of AirPcap and their channel-hopping modification  
of wireshark....)
