I have emerged kismet 3.0.1-r1.
First I run "/etc/initd/kismet start" as root.
Then I try to start "kismet" as a normal user (jskata). It is supposed to be done like that, am I right?
But I get this error message:

Done. Run kismet_unmonitor or eject and re-insert your card (or restart
your pcmcia services) to return your card to normal operation. |
I have tried using either 127.0.0.1 or localhost in /etc/kismet config files. |

After starting the kismet server check that it is running with "ps ax". I've had problems running it with the init script. Instead I've run it by running the command in the init script directly.

| I think it is running. But there appears to be problems shutting it down, because after I run "/etc/init.d/kismet stop" the process is still there. |

try to cd to /tmp as root and then start kismet_server:
( i don't know why kismet_server needs to be started from specific dirs..., thats why /etc/init.d/kismet start don't work i think)
bash-2.05b# cd /tmp/
bash-2.05b# kismet_server
and start kismet_client iso. kistmet
bash-2.05b$ kismet_client
