[Buildroot] segmentation fault running kismet

Tue Feb 12 07:04:56 UTC 2008

The strange thing I noticed is that if I run the help menu then also I
get segmentation fault. I am not sure where things are going wrong.
Anybody using Kismet-2007-10-R1 with buildroot?
Please let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
Saurav
