Hi,

I know kismet is there for testing, but I couldn't even get it to start (well,
not without the -f anyway).

It looks in /usr/etc for configuration files instead of /etc. I think the kismet
./configure needs --sysconfdir=/etc. Or even better, /etc/kismet as to reduce
the clutter.

Cheers,

Alastair
