Hi there,
I'm new to pentesting and also to the Nano. My first experience with it was not too good at all. I still can't get an ICS with my windows 10 machine. So I was quite disappointed with the Nano in the beginning. Then I wachted this awesome video about how to code for the Nano and also picked up the idea of running kismet on the Nano from https://holisticsecurity.io/2016/02/27/wardriving-wifi-pineapple-nano-mobile-world-congress-2016-barcelona/
So I followed the video and made up a module for starting kismet.
You can find it on github: https://github.com/btesteracc/KismetStarter
So I'm getting comfortable with the Nano now and will try to get it doing whatz I want it to do ;-)
