http://www.zdez.org/kismet_2008-05-R1.tar.gz is the corresponding source.

1. If I wasn't running any other programs kismet ran for 50 minutes. When something else was going, after about 10 minutes I saw a dmesg indication it couldn't access the card. This is probably something simple.

2. kismet.conf has GPS off by default. This version wants to use hildon to enable it when you turn it on, but it fails because kismet tries to do so as root, not user. Even if it is already up (map) it will try to enable it (and fail). Kismet stops when this happens. If I run my minigpsd, it does get GPS, but something was wrong with the wifi, so no packets (kismet_server in one xterm, kismet_client in another).

I compiled libpcap.0.9.8 from the main archive sources to produce the .a file, and it will work statically linked (if a bit bigger). The earlier ones have a deb, so it shoudln't be that hard to make one for kismet.

Anyone want to start a maemo garage project for this?
