kismet_drone.conf(5)

NAME
kismet_drone.conf - Wireless sniffing and monitoring drone configuration file

DESCRIPTION
kismet_drone uses a minimalized configuration file, similar in options to the main kismet server configuration file. By default, the drone config is in /etc/kismet/kismet.conf. A default configuration is included with Kismet but it is likely you will need to modify it to suit your hardware and preferences.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
All entries are of the format directive = value
