[X-Unix] Installing kismet using Fink

[Alexandre Gauthier]

I recently (okay that would be lying -- make that a few months ago) 
tried to install kismet using Fink. Everything seems to go well except 
for the viha-driver, which fails to install. I tried this on many 
different machines which all responded with the same error messages...

xerxes:~ supernaut$ fink install kismet
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink  install kismet

It seems to be complaining against a missing framework, but the details 
seems scarce. I am posting this in hope that someone better informed 
could enlighten me on what package this aforementionned package would be 
part of.
