i believe there is already a kismet that should be able to work on the WL500g, if i'm right you can find it at the official Kismet homepage.. (note: it's marked for use with the WRT54g, so i'm not sure if it really works)
Well, Kismet (kismet-feb.04.01-wrt54.tar.gz) was reported (by jaha2x) working on ASUS WL-500 yet. It was just necessary to change some things in kismet.conf (configdir path to something like /tmp/.kismet and user name to admin). The IP address of Kismet client needs to be enabled.
BTW there is a newer Kismet version available at the moment (see http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/ ).
Just quickly tested - kismet-2004-04-R1-wrt54 (kismet_server) seemed working fine on WL-500g (1.7.5.6-2.1). :) Did not test the Kismet client yet. The server produces a VERY nice output so I can recommend to try it... :D
pls advice in details how to install kismet server to wl-500g

ARGH.. forget this mail... I leave it if someone else makes same mistake.
The config file got somehow DOS formatted (by FTP transfer is asci :(), and kismet had a problem with it.... anyway, DOX2UNIX did miracles :)
Does anyone have it sucessfully running from a USB stick drive?
I can run it from HD (whole drive read-writable), but when I try running it from memory stick, it fails with this message:
/mnt/usbfs/kismet-2004-04-r1-wrt54 # ./kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
/kismet_server.pid, couldn't open for writing: No such file or directory/mnt/usbfs/kismet-2004-04-r1-wrt54 #
From the error it looks like it tries to write the pid file to the root dir which is read-only. but the pid dir is normally configured in the config file to /var/run/
If you have maybe you can provide a working config file.
I changed the following parts of the config file:
# User to setid to (should be your normal user)
suiduser=admin
# Sources are defined as:
# source=cardtype,interface,name[,initialchannel]
# Card types and required drivers are listed in the README.
# The initial channel is optional, if hopping is not enabled it can be used
# to set the channel the interface listens on.
source=wrt54g,eth2,wrt54gsource
# Where do we store the pid file of the server?
piddir=/var/run/
# Where state info, etc, is stored. You shouldnt ever need to change this.
# This is a directory.
configdir=/tmp/.kismet/
and created the /tmp/.kismet dir, and stored the configs in /tmp/etc
Where can I install kismet on wl500g ?
Which folder?
I installed it on /tmp but it is lost now. Where is space for it or will I need to have some usb stick or usb hd to store it?
And some bad thing, kismet did run, but I saw no other network and I have a AP running which kismet can hear for shure. I saw no info from kismet about htis network.
when I check with client mode (wl ap 0, wl scan, wl scanresults) I see the network very strong.
ALBI...

install it on your usbdisk/key whatever
/tmp = temporarily which means it will be destroyed at boot
also this is a server side app so it means you have to use a client with it, you can use kismet at your normal pc running linux
1.)
can someone send me compiled and working version of kismet with tiny how-to install ?
please help me im newbie in these area and also i dont understand WHERE and HOW to compile kismet into asus firmware
or can someone send me newest firmware with kismet inside ?
2.)
is possible to bridge all interfaces together and also set on WIRELESS to CLIENT MODE ?! -
of course i need to know WHY IS IT NOT WORKING !!
THANKS @ ALL

Yes, is there anywhere 1,5 MB space on wl500g which will not be destroyed at boot? If not, I will have to look for some usb/hd solution, thats no problem, I just like to know. I checked with df, but this shows me only:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 2944 2944 0 100% /
Which does not really tell much :)
I did install on my linux computer kismet client and connected to wl500g server, which worked fine. But I saw nothing happen. OK, I need to check this again.

no it's ram, when its too full it will cause the router to reboot, but if you don't need it often you could use that..
it works for me, but i don't receive any 'weak' keys from my own WEP128bit secured network.. so i guess my second wireless network is too well secured
