Installation Problems #49

Open rory-ward opened 1 year ago

rory-ward commented 1 year ago

Hi,

When I run: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi_bin/main/install.sh | sudo bash

I get the error: "Pre-compiled binaries probably don't exist for your kernel's version: 6.1.21-v8+."

What can I do to work around this?

Thanks

Nexmon_csi is only available for kernel versions 5.10.x, 5.4.x, and 4.19.x. The latest supported kernel is 5.10.92. You'll find the url to the rpi os with kernel 5.10.92 here: https://github.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi_bin#install

Flash that instead of the latest rpi os.

This has worked thanks.

I've managed to get the tool up and running. The issue that I am having now is that when I run: tcpdump -i wlan0 dst port 5500 -vv -w output.pcap -c 1000

I get: 0 packets captured 0 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel.

I thought maybe that there was no traffic going to the board, so from a laptop on the same network I pinged the board and specific port. But that does not seem to make any difference.

Any thoughts on why its not working?

Thanks.

Hi,

So an update to my last question. I can get the raspberry pi to log packets but only when I use netcat.

nc -u [raspberry pi ip address] 5500 < /dev/random

The problem then is that I am unable to read these pcap files into any tool as the length of the packets are different.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong or how I can fix it?

Thanks

...... 5500 < /dev/random

You're reading random data from /dev/random, not actual csi data.
