at the top of your kismet.conf file:

Code:

# Kismet config file
# Most of the "static" configs have been moved to here -- the command line
# config was getting way too crowded and cryptic.  We want functionality,
# not continually reading --help!

# Version of Kismet config
version=2007.09.R1

# Name of server (Purely for organizational purposes)
servername=Kismet

# User to setid to (should be your normal user)
suiduser=walts

the line "suiduser=" contains your non-priveleged user
kismet drops the privileges automatically.

I don't have a GPS so I can't help specifically with that, but I did notice that the line in the log,

Code:

Dropped privs to user (29999) gid 29999

is the same in my installation as with yours. I'm not sure what that means, but mine does work (on the N800).

HTH
