## Scanning
############
 
# See the README for full information on the new source format
# ncsource=interface:options
# for example:
# ncsource=wlan0
# ncsource=wifi0:type=madwifi
# ncsource=wlan0:name=intel,hop=false,channel=11
# 1x for 2.4 GHz
# 1x for 5 GHz
ncsource=wlan0:name=2.4GHz,retry=true
ncsource=wlan1:name:5GHz,retry=true
 
# Comma-separated list of sources to enable.
# enablesources=prismsource,ciscosource
# Control which channels we like to spend more time on.
preferredchannels=1,6,11
 
# Hopping Channels per second (1-10)
channelvelocity=3
 
# By setting the dwell time for channel hopping we override the channelvelocity
# setting above and dwell on each channel for the given number of seconds.
#channeldwell=10
 
# Channellists (do NOT change unless you know, what you're doing)
channellist=IEEE80211b:1:3,6:3,11:3,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10
channellist=IEEE80211a:36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,149,153,157,161,165

## GPS

# GPS
gps=true
 
# Type of communication between kismet & GPS device
# Multiple options: gpsd, serial, virtual
gpstype=gpsd
 
# gpsd listening port
gpshost=localhost:2947
 
# If no GPS lock is achieved, set to true.
gpsmodelock=false
 
# Try to reconnect if GPS link is lost.
gpsreconnect=true
 
##
## Sound
#########
 
# Do we use sound?
# Not to be confused with GUI sound parameter, this controls wether or not the
# server itself will play sound.  Primarily for headless or automated systems.
enablesound=false
# Path to sound player
soundbin=play
sound=newnet,true
sound=newcryptnet,true
sound=packet,true
sound=gpslock,true
sound=gpslost,true
sound=alert,true
# Does the server have speech? (Again, not to be confused with the GUI's speech)
enablespeech=false
# Binary used for speech (if not in path, full path must be specified)
speechbin=flite
# Specify raw or festival; Flite (and anything else that doesn't need formatting
# around the string to speak) is 'raw', festival requires the string be wrapped in
# SayText("...")
speechtype=raw
# Speaking method: speech, nato, spell
speechencoding=nato
speech=new,"New network detected s.s.i.d. %1 channel %2"
speech=gpslost,"G.P.S. signal lost"
speech=gpslock,"G.P.S. signal O.K."
