Did you reboot it, or just shut it down and power it back up with the charger attached?

maybe you should install wireless-tools and do an "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed"

On my N800, I am running Kismet 2007.10.R1 which I installed from http://eko.one.pl/maemo, bora distribution. The OS version is 4.2008.30-2
It exits normally with Q and the wireless connection returns to normal. This is the first time I have seen this. With my prior installations (prior to the last re-flash to upgrade the OS) I had similar problems to what you are describing. Either using ifconfig as shown or shutting down wireless with the screen applet and restarting it again usually got it going again. I only remember once that I had to reboot, and that was after kismet froze up on me.

One must use commends to reset wlan properly:
MY_MAC="00:19:4F:AND:SO:ON"
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0
sudo macchanger -m $MY_MAC wlan0
Last command used if one changes MAC before scanning, using:
sudo macchanger -r wlan0
sudo kismet
MY_MAC="00:19:4F:AND:SO:ON"
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0
sudo macchanger -m $MY_MAC wlan0
Last command used if one changes MAC before scanning, using:
sudo macchanger -r wlan0
sudo kismet

Using the kismet_2008-05-R1_armel.deb mentioned earlier in this thread, what is the most straight forward way to get it using the GPS and saving data to the miniSD card?

ok, I enabled gps in kismet.conf, and get this:
I read somewhere you have to patch Kismet to drop privileges to user, but I have know Idea how to do that. Any ideas?

to get normal operation back on the WiFi NIC. Kind of a pain, but worth it to have
Kismet on the box, just needed to figure out how to get regular communications
back.
