Wireless Ubuntu on Thinkpad x60s

I'm used to doing everything manually when running wireless FreeBSD on older laptops. Running Ubuntu has shielded me from some of the command-line configuration I used to perform on FreeBSD. Linux uses different commands for certain tasks. My new laptop also has a different chipset from my old laptop, so I wanted to see if I could get Kismet working on it.

If I want to find wireless networks via the command line I use this command.


richard@neely:~$ sudo iwlist eth1 scan

If I want to associate with that WAP using WEP I use this command.

richard@neely:~$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid shaolin channel 1 key KEYDIGITS

I am associated now.

richard@neely:~$ iwconfig eth1

I can grab an IP via DHCP.

Here are the changes I made to enable Kismet after checking my wireless card.

Kismet works fine. When operating eth1 is in monitor mode.

richard@neely:~$ iwconfig eth1

When Kismet exits I'm able to cleanly use my original connection.
