Ok just updated to latest OS update, and Kismet STILL appears to be crap'n-out, thou it is MUCH improved just wondering if anyone have figured out a way to have it working 100% this is my current setup as of today

only listing applications installed off package manager not listing all the dependencies that auto-install (I HAVE NOT ADDED ANYTHING EXTRA)

Fresh Latest OS update/install
becomeroot (think this is listed as n770 app)
osso-xterm (n800 app)
kismet (listed as n770 app)

I havent tested my past setup which would actually work (kinda a trick really) but currently Kismet does start and it scans and doesnt TIME-OUT but it does FREEZE/LOCKUP if i screw around with the interface output (or what really appears to be the issue is pulling up the onscreen keypad interface)
or hitting 's' then 'l' or 'L' appears todo the same (my money is the onscreen keyboard)

but the trick i did before that would let kismet run NON-STOP was to first setup a est. connection (home AP or something) have it automaticlly connect then i would start xterm and load kismet and at which point kismet would run (without quiting the previous autoconnection mind you, but not using the GUI interface after i entered into Xterm) i logged over 2000 hits with kismet and ran the device dead doing the above and that by the way was with the 2nd OS release

so just wondering if anyone had any luck with the other wifi chipset drivers i have seen or anything else to trick OS4 into scanning the way i use to have in OS2 (the 3 OS update the trick wouldnt work i tried so only a downgrade to OS2 would be the answer if needing kismet)
