[maemo-developers] Kismet on the N800/Maemo Platform?

[From: Acadia Secure Networks]

All,

has anyone been working on getting the Kismet 802.11 layer2 wireless 
network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system running on the 
Maemo platform?

For those not already aware of Kismet here is the url to the www page 
for the product:

Earlier this year, at the EMC(2)/RSA Security conference, a small 
company, Immunity  Inc., demoed a pen testing tool running on the Nokia  
770/N800, called the Silica. Here is the url to the  www page for that 
product:

some ZDnet "press" coverage:

and, some eweek coverage:

It is not at all clear from the information at Immunity's www site 
whether or not they utilize Kismet  on the Nokia platform to perform the 
802.11 layer 2 aspects of what this product does.
