Has anyone reported this bug upstream? If so, what was the reply?
Please test 0.7.0_pre1, it is in portage (~x86). Also, latest version is 0.7.0_pre2, emerges and runs (bumped from pre1)
Please test 0.7.0_rc1 now in portage.
0.7.0 is now in portage, and features a complete rewrite of the code. Please test this release. otherwise, by the time 0.7.0 will hit stable, I'll mark this bug cantfix. (obviously upstream won't do it)
closing bug: ettercap 0.6.x is deprecated.
