I'm having the same issue, same output, running a fully updated kali VM and using an adapter that works with airmon-ng.

Same issue happened to me after cleanup all kismet files from system and reinstalled. Iam also missing the suid-install part after installation of kismet.

Why those files are not created in the installation routine?

iam using following apt sources deb https://www.kismetwireless.net/repos/apt/release/focal focal main

// I was able to solve the issue with remove the sources and use the ubuntu default package

kismet/focal 2016.07.R1-1.1~build2 amd64

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

Tried remove and reinstall the current version 2022, but no question for suid install and still missing config files.
