That will probably do it. Have to edit it to 2.6.21 instead of 2.6.18 kernel, but thats simple. Thanks.

Now for the next problem

I'm trying to use a GPS with kismet, it gives this error:
Hildon BT failed: GPS API should be called as "user" and not as root.

Kismet drops to user privs (it says so earlier in the output) so maybe this is a problem with the GPS API thing is checking the real user id, not the effective. I think there is a syscall to modify the real uid reported (but not 100% certain, been a while since I read up on unix permissions), maybe the kismet build for maemo should be modified to do that?

Or maybe the problem is something else? Does anyone have any suggestions?
