Kismet errors on Mandriva 2007

I had to disable dependency checking to install kismet-3.1.060413-1mdv2007.0 (a.k.a. Kismet, v. 2006.04.R1) on Mandriva 2007.0 because of a dependency error (more). When I start kismet, though, it fails because the interface is reset:

Feb 28 09:18:09 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[6175]: Link beat detected.

I found that by disabling ifplugd, kismet functions correctly (i.e., the interface remained in promiscuous mode) but I had to manually reconfigure the interface afterwards.

 

How can I prevent ifplug from interfering with kismet but still reconfigure the interface when I'm done using kismet?
