Ethereal is vulnerable and has no devs to fix it. Wireshark is the fixed
continuation.
(bug 140856)

Wireshark provide the same wiretap library as ethereal so really only a DEPEND
change is needed.

It compiles fine with wireshark's wiretap library.

------- Comment #1 From Daniel Black 2006-07-20 06:12:39 0000 ------- 
Added wifiscanner-1.0.1-r1.ebuild to support wireshark.

Will remove wifiscanner-1.0.1 if no faults are reported within about a week(?).

looking at diff -ruN 
/var/tmp/portage/ethereal-0.99.0-r1/work/ethereal-0.99.0/wiretap/
/var/tmp/portage/wireshark-0.99.2/work/wireshark-0.99.2/wiretap/

Shows the addition of a couple of files but otherwise mainly buildsystem and
document changes.

Will close when wifiscanner-1.0.1 is removed.

I'm getting this:

* checking 17 files for package collisions
existing file /usr/lib/libwiretap.la is not owned by this package
[...]
package net-wireless/wifiscanner-1.0.1-r1 NOT merged


[scourge]~ # equery b /usr/lib/libwiretap.la                                   
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libwiretap.la in *... ]                       
net-analyzer/ethereal-0.99.0-r1 (/usr/lib/libwiretap.la)

Am I supposed to remove ethereal (and install wireshark) before merging
wiretap?

... sorry I meant "before merging wifiscanner".

------- Comment #4 From Daniel Black 2006-07-25 02:44:06 0000 ------- 
an unmerge of ethereal followed by a emerge of wireshark should be sufficient.

If a reemerge of  wifiscanner is needed, because wifiscanner fails to run with
wireshark's wiretap libraries, please let me know.

wifiscanner-1.0.1 has been removed.
