. Well, it seems that Gentoo Bugzilla has gone dumb; at least on this bug. Not even an acknowledgment that we or the report exists. FWIW, Jurgen, I'm guessing that Arpstar is dead. I'm guessing that everyone but a few of us were aware that it has been replaced by arpon: http://arpon.sourceforge.net/ Arpon seems to be a well-designed tool; my laptop will certainly use it at hotpots, given Gentoo Arpstar is no longer. HTH
Sorry for the lack of response, we don't have many people working on kernel-misc packages. I bugged the original contributor (Stefan Schweizer) to take a look, but we may just end up removing the package unless someone steps up to maintain it.
This package is now facing removal since nobody is looking after it http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_3bb464395395d557abe99cbe97076679.xml
now in package.mask
removed from tree
