This guide will hopefully help people build Kismet for use on OpenWRT flashed devices. I can't say that it is 100% perfect, or complete, but I can say that with some tweaking, Kismet will build and will at least install on a WRT54GL.
(Thx DJ Flux for the make/Makefile-fu)
#Download OpenWRT SVN trunk
svn checkout svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ ~/trunk/#Download Kismet SVN trunk
svn co https://www.kismetwireless.net/code/svn/trunk ~/kismet-devel#Change to trunk directory
cd ~/trunk/#Update packages
./scripts/feeds update#Install necessary packages for Kismet
./scripts/feeds install -d m uclibcxx
./scripts/feeds install -d m libpcre-You should see output similar to this:
mike@openwrt:~/openwrt/trunk$ ./scripts/feeds install -d m uclibcxx

#Create Kismet package directory
cd package
mkdir kismet-newcore
mkdir kismet-newcore/files
mkdir kismet-newcore/patches
#Create kismet-devel tarball
cd ~/
tar czvf kismet-devel.tar.gz kismet-devel/
#Now copy or move the kismet-devel.tar.gz to a webserver
-I ended up creating a code directory in /var/www/ (/var/www/code) and placed the file there
#Create or copy Kismet package Makefile
kismet-newcore files
***UPDATE(The included Makefile points to 127.0.0.1/code)***
#Copy kismet_drone.conf to kismet-newcore/files directory
**This file is included in the above tarball**
-This is just the default file with gps server turned off (I don't have GPS available)
#Configure the image environment
make menuconfig#Choose your Target System/Subtarget/Target Profile and select packages/features
-There are two ways to add the extra items:
-Add as a built-in package (creates larger images, but less hassle with installing packages)
-Only use if you have enough RAM for the larger images
-Add as a package (smaller images, but requires package be copied to device and installed manually)
-select libraries-> libncurses, libnl, libpcre, libpcap
#Build images
make world-This step can be done before or after kismet is selected. If it's done before, you won't get the errors, and it will at least build clean the first time through. After kismet is added to the packages and selected, there will be errors that need to be resolved before the make will finish.
-This could take some time, so be patient. Also, note any errors.

#Once the make completes successfully, you can flash your router with whatever method you choose.
#I won't go into the flashing details in this tutorial.
#Once the router is flashed, you will need to copy over packages if you created them as modules, and not built-in
-Packages to copy to wrt54gl:
kismet-drone_2009-06-R1-1_mipsel.ipk
libpcap_1.0.0-1_mipsel.ipk
libpcre_7.9-1_mipsel.ipk
uclibcxx_0.2.2-2_mipsel.ipk
-The easiest way is to SCP them over to the /tmp directory on the router.
#SSH into router and install the packages
ssh 192.168.1.1
cd /tmp
opkg install uclibcxx_0.2.2-2_mipsel.ipk
opkg install libpcre_7.9-1_mipsel.ipk
opkg install libpcap_1.0.0-1_mipsel.ipk
opkg install kismet-drone_2009-06-R1-1_mipsel.ipk
