Hi Pen-Testers, I was encountering a weird problem when using GPSDrive with kismet. If I started gpsd, followed by Kismet, followed by GPSDrive I would get an error : Select () call: Bad file descriptor Select () call: Bad file descriptor Select () call: Bad file descriptor Select () call: Bad file descriptor Select () call: Bad file descriptor I searched on different search engines for a solution but found no help. Eventually doing the following resulted in remediation: logged on to mysql server and on mysql prompt entered the command: drop database geoinfo # Mind you this deletes the data. Then I restarted GPSDrive as follows: gpsdrive -p /dev/ttyUSB0 This resulted in a perfect mapping of the access points in GPSDrive! I just wanted to post this so that others who are facing this error don't figure it out lilke I did...i.e., by using trial and error!
