Also, do /etc/init.d/wifid stop before putting the device in ap mode so the kindle doesn't auto reset the wifi module. In ap-mode do what you can. However, kismet is not ported to kindle and the kindle wifi drivers afaik is not supported by kismet.

Thanks, I will try it.. IMHO there is no problem with compiling kismet on kindle - itīs a linux.. there should not be problem with drivers as far as they support monitor mode - "Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and (with appropriate hardware) can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic" ...from the official site.
Thanks for your replies...
