The panels interface supports displaying networks and clients detected by

Kismet grouping of multiple networks, sorting of networks and clients,

reporting the signal and noise levels of the wireless card, displaying printable

strings, packet types, and many other features.

The panels interface is divided into three primary views:

1. Network display – This where the networks are listed.

2. Statistics – This lists the number of networks, packets, etc.

3. Status – This scrolls recent events which may be noteworthy.

Several types of network and client types are tracked:

Network/Group types:

P Probe request – no associated connection yet

A Access point – standard wireless network

H Ad-hoc – point-to-point wireless network

T Turbocell – Turbocell (aka Karlnet or Lucent Outdoor Router) network

G Group – Group of wireless networks

D Data – Data only network with no control packets.

Status Flags give a brief overview about information discovered on the

network.

change the configuration on their WAP. This is bad.
