Kismet 2.4.5 is up for download.

Release notes:
Kismet 2.4.5 includes significant bugfixes (BSD compilation errors, numerous 
minor memory leaks and unitialized variables, bugs in the server-client 
communication, gps altitude calculation, ARM memory alignment, weak packet
logs discarding some packets inappropriately, and others), a rewritten sound 
and speech system that prevents errors during high traffic load, improved 
security for the configuration file parser, and monitor and hopper support for
Prism2 cards under the HostAP driver.  2.4.5 also includes more efficient 
client-server communication with on-demand processing of extra packet
information, two new panel displays (realtime estimation of a network center
and compass bearing to that center or to the location of the strongest detected
signal, and scrolling list of received packet types with protocol dissection), 
display and logging of the strongest signal, kismet2cwgd support for XML gps
files, the channel hopper allows a custom channel hopping speed, and the 
network client now performs more efficient parsing of information from the 
server and uses less CPU.

This should fix all the ARM problems with 2.4 (sorry about that), and brings in
all the stable improvements in the 2.5 tree currently.
