Please define "analysis". What exactly should be analyzed?

Kismet can do:
* construct list of all beaconing APs and IBSS devices
* associate SSID to beacons because of assoc/auth req/resp
* construct a list of all stations around
* show used protection schema
* get simple packet statistics
* get simple signal level figures
* ...

But "analysis" can obviously be much more.

Some of the analysis should also be done on driver level, e.g. 
extend the nl80211-site-survey into mac80211 and add noise 
reporting to some drivers (I have something preliminary for 
ath5k). But also extend it to give channel occupation 
statistics.


And for a GUI, you could run kismet-server in the background and 
write a GUI (e.g. in Qt, so that it runs on X11/Mac/Win).

If the required analysis isn't easily put into kismet, you can of 
course write a new application if you please so :-)  I for 
example wrote a simple Qt application that has 25% of kismet's 
capability, but with a GUI. Unfortunately still Qt3.
