Ok, kismet was working like a charm till when I installed kismet-sounds ipkg. Which change my Network Settings GUI. I don't know exactly how much, since I don't remember all the entries that were there. But it did change. At least I still have eth0 and others showing.
Once kismet-sound was installed, I tried running kismet from console and got an error saying couldn't connect to localhost port:2501
So, I thought: it was working fine before kismet-sounds. Then I unistalled kismet-sounds ipkg and tried running Kismet again. Same problem.
So, I unistalled kismet ipkg too (btw, they both were installed on SD), and deleted ".kismet" directory from "~" directory. Then lardman told me about /etc directory, and I found a couple of more kismet files there. They got deleted too.
Now I installed kismet ipkg again, ran it and got this output:

Thanks a bunch in advance.
