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.
