net-wireless/wepattack depends on kismet. But on the homepage (http://wepattack.sourceforge.net/), it says: WepAttack accepts every dumpfile of pcap structure. Every Tool that can handle dumpfiles in pcap format, as Kismet, Tcpdump or Ethereal does, can be used for sniffing data. Kismet is highly recommended because it offers lots of convenience. There's even no need for kismet or a similar program to be installed on the same system at all. The dump file can be copied from another host in the network. Please remove this dependancy. Thanks!
if you scroll down it says: 'The following libraries are required to install Wepattack' and kismet is listed under it ... so unless you can show me that this works: `emerge unmerge kismet` `emerge wepattack` <use wepattack> i'm gonna leave the DEPEND
Should have mentioned that I just removed the dependency and compiled wepattack on my system. root@cube:~# qpkg -I kismet ; qpkg -I wepattack net-wireless/wepattack * root@cube:~# As you see, kismet is not installed (and was not at compile time of wepattack).
