Hi Francois, 1) I have not tried running kismet_server in other configurations because my NSLU2 because it has no other valid sources except for the kismet_drone source.
2) I am not running Debian on any other machine at home. I did try running the
kismet_server on my Mac Mini from the MacPorts project, and it works. It is
version 2008.05.R1. It connects to the drone and is able to gather packet
information.
3) I can tell you that the kismet_server segfaults before even establishing a
connection to the drone because the drone does not report accepting a
connection on its listening port. So regardless of pointing the server to a
different drone, it would segfault before establishing a network connection.
4) I have no log entries from /var/log/syslog nor any info from the command
'dmesg' related to kismet. I only see log entries for smbd (unrelated).
I believe I have more than sufficient memory to run kismet_server. The output
from 'free' is telling me there is about 16MB of memory for application use.
Here is output from 'free':
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 29556 28336 1220 0 2368 12760
-/+ buffers/cache: 13208 16348
Swap: 524280 28 524252
5) My Linksys WRT54G is running the DDWRT firmware. The kismet_drone running
on my Linksys WRT54G is version 2005.08.R1. It is the version provided by
kismetwireless.net. Found here:
http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/kismet-drone-2005-08-R1-wrt54.ipk
For my kismet.conf, I only changed three values (source, logtypes,
logtemplate). Attached is the file I use.
Thanks,
-hd

Subject: Re: Bug#500420: Segmentation fault running kismet_server
I need more information as kismet_server works i386 and armel
Does kismet_server segfault in all configurations or just when connecting to
the drone?
Does this happen when you run kismet_server on i386 debian and point it at the
drone?
Does this happen when you run kismet_drone from the package on i386 (or on the
slug) and use that as a capture source?
Is there anything in your logs? Ar eyou running out of memory?
Can you provide your kismet_server.conf, the version and origin of
kismet_drone, a trace?
Thanks,
