The curent stable ebuild for kismet errors out when the latest (5.4-r1) ncurses installed. The .configure script cannot find libcurses or libncurses. I was able to successfully install with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" . This installed kismet-2004.04.1. Stable installs 3.0.1 wich was released Feb 09 2004. 2004.04.01 is the new versioning scheme.
