Hi,

I'm using 3.99.16 with ral driver kernel. How should I go about scanning for
access point ? 

I tried installing kismet but ./configure says it only supports pcap source.
Someone on irc pointed out wiconfig and wpa_supplicant so I tried "wiconfig ral0
-D", but it couldn't find any APs. I am still figuring out how wpa_supplicant
works. Any other pointers ? 

Could I also use tcpdump -y IEEE... to scan for access points ? 

Thank you
Henry
