For years, OpenBSD was stuck in a technical time-warp. While the rest of the world moved to Kismet “Newcore” - with its powerful web-based UI, distributed capture, and multi-protocol support—the OpenBSD port remained anchored to the legacy ncurses version.

The core software, with some small patches, compiled fine, but there was a massive void: no Wifi capture driver for OpenBSD. To move forward and finally retire the ancient version, I had to build the engine: capture_openbsd_wifi.
