Francois, How is your packaging of kismet going?
I had a need to package it for use here and have uploaded my packages to http://people.debian.org/~msp/. I am happy to honour your ITP and allow you to upload your packages to the main Debian archive. However if you no longer want to progress the ITP, I am happy to take over the ITP and maintain the kismet package within Debian. I have also ensured that the relevant components of ethereal-dev are now included (wiretap libs) for building of kismet. (see Bug#137971) Btw, your other ITP, hostap, looks like it might also have a lot of promise. Let me know if you would like some testing of the hostap package. Mark
