    3 Gpsdrive (starting with version 1.31) only supports the newer
    4 kismet version (>=2.8.0) because the server format has changed.
    5 Older versions of GpsDrive works only with kismet 2.6.x
    6 =================================================================

    9 GpsDrive supports the wireless sniffer 'kismet'.
   10 
   11 Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer. It is capable of
   12 sniffing using almost any wireless card supported in Linux, including
   13 Prism2 based cards supported by the Wlan-NG project (Linksys, Dlink,
   14 Rangelan, etc), cards which support standard packet capture via
   15 libpcap (Cisco), and limited support for cards without RF Monitor
   16 support.

   20 How do I use GpsDrive with kismet?
   21 ----------------------------------
   22 
   23 You have to start kismet first (gpsd must be running before kismet, so
   24 kismet can detect the presence of a gps receiver).
   25 After kismet is running, start GpsDrive. If you have speech output,
   26 you get a voice information that kismet was found.
   27 
   28 Kismet support of GpsDrive is only available if you use the SQL-Database.
   29 
   30 What does GpsDrive do with kismet?
   31 ----------------------------------
   32 
   33 If kismet detects a wireless accesspoint, it is stored in the SQL
   34 database and an icon is shown on the map (an open lock symbol for an
   35 uncrypted Network, a symbol with a 'W' for an accesspoint using WEP,
   36 and a closed lock symbol for an accesspoint with other encryption).
   37 You have to enable the WLAN display in Settings/POI menu.
   38 
   39 If you have speech output, you hear a message about the new waypoint.
   40 
   41 
   42 since v2.04:
   43 ============
   44 GpsDrive stores new accesspoints and updates them, if their position
   45 changed. If kismet gives "best" values for lat/lon, then this values
   46 are stored also all other parameter like encrypted or not.
   47 
   48 Important:
   49 ==========
   50 Sometimes kismet detects a new AP, but GpsDrive don't stores it. This
   51 is because kismet provides no valid GPS position at this moment.
