kismetdb packets table always empty? #585

Description

@kmhaeren

Very new to Kismet so apologies if this is a stupid question:

When capturing from bluetooth as datasource, the packets table in the kismet db stays empty.

My goal is to log all packets over a period of time and analyze timeseries of the packets afterwards, but I can't seem to figure out where to find the logged packets (if they're logged at all).

Reproduce:

  • install kismet on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, no changes to the default kismet configs
  • log bluetooth devices for a while (UI shows devices)
  • inspect db -> empty packets table

I've attempted to use the API to write the packet capture to a pcapng file, but wireshark then claims the packets are malformed.

Any help welcome, thanks for this awesome software!
