Content of RPM :
/etc/ap_manuf

/etc/kismet.conf
/etc/kismet_drone.conf
/etc/kismet_ui.conf
/usr/bin/gpsmap

/usr/bin/kismet
/usr/bin/kismet_client
/usr/bin/kismet_drone
/usr/bin/kismet_server

/usr/share/kismet/wav
/usr/share/kismet/wav/alert.wav
/usr/share/kismet/wav/junk_traffic.wav
/usr/share/kismet/wav/new_network.wav
/usr/share/kismet/wav/traffic.wav
/usr/share/man/man1/gpsmap.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kismet.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kismet_drone.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/kismet.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/kismet_drone.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/kismet_ui.conf.5.gz

yast is dumb and seems to only say the file name of whats provided and not the path. also if you have the rpm file you can open it in kRPMView and it says what it provides in one of the tabs. If you really are have troubles try typing find / kismet.conf|grep kismet.conf

you need to be root
one way to do this is open up a console and type:
sux
enter passowrd: **** (your root password)
kwrite /etc/kismet.conf &

then work you normaly would. when done close kwrite then type:
exit
if kwrite puts stuff on the console i.e. there is no prompt then press ctrl c

if you want to edit with the command line:
su
vi /etc/kismet.conf
press insert to type then esc when done then :w to write then :q to quit note the : symbol.
or use nano, pico or anything you like (nano is best)
exit
