Cool... I have 2 suggestions for the next version, if you will.
I am wondering, would it be possible to put it in the README file as well? Maybe it is possible to add something to Kismet configure script like --with-WRT54G to take care of configuring libpcap automagically, compile and strip kismet_drone only?
One more thing. Is it possible bypass running kismet_monitor in case we use generic capture mode? There is nothing going on in kismet_monitor anyway so calling it all the time on an underpowered box like 486 or mipsel 125Mhz is not necessary. Same goes for kismet_server using only kismet_drone and/or generic sources.
Also I think that making a copy of kismet_drone stable precompiled for mipsel would not hurt, since now we know that it runs not only on i386 and arm :-)
Cheers,
Alex.
