I tried to install kismet, but I got the following error:

Code:

bluefish:~# kismet
Server options:  none
Client options:  none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before startuing UI...
Suid priv-dropping disabled.  This may not be secure.

Anyone?..

I suppose the obvious question is, have you checked over kismet.conf? Sorry for not really offering any real advise, but cant think of anything else. Not writing this from my linux box, but I think cisco is the default card in the conf. There is a fair bit of info in the conf file from what I remember. Quick look through your posts, shows atheros chipset?
