Newbie Wi-Spy OS X question
Submitted by Trent on Thu, 10/18/2007 - 16:02.
Hi.
My apologies if this question is out of line. I am running 10.3.9 on a Ti PowerBook. I just received Wi-Spy. I tried to install the Wispy tools from Kismet. This failed with the claim that libusb is not present. I tried to install libusb from source available at sourceforge. This also failed. I was not able to determine why from the messages. I tried to install libsub via Darwinports. This seemed to work. However, when I went back to try to install wispy-tools, it still claimed that libusb was absent. Has anyone made this work? If so, can you offer instructions?
It appers that if I were running 10.4.6, I could try Eakiu, but I'm hot ready to go to 10.4 yet.
Thanks for any help that you can offer.
Hi.
Wow! I downloaded both V.2 and v.3 of EaKiu. I fired up v.3, and it
seems to be working fine. Not by any means, have I tested all the
features, but everything I have tried has worked very well. Thanks very
much for an excellent program and for encouraging me to give it a try
on 10.3.9.
Aloha...
You might want to try our software for OSX instead of this Kismet
software - though ours was built for 10.4 it *might* work on the lower
OS.
I would not try the very latest universal binary we posted yesterday - but the slightly older version 2.0 of our EaKiu software.
Go to: http://www.cookwareinc.com/EaKiu/
Then go to the DOWNLOAD page. You could *try* the latest 3.0b universal
binary but if that doesn't work go down a bit on the page and download
the non-universal binary (PPC) version 2.0.
In version 2.0 libUSB is already compiled in for you - no need to
compile and install yourself. In version 3.0b we don't even use libUSB
(we use the native Apple library).
Again, these were built under 10.4.6 but there is a good chance that at least version 2.0 of EaKiu will work for you.
