Package: guessnet

Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When there are lots of networks, the "iwlist scan" based test script hangs. I
think the problem is caused by bash being unable to handle scanning
through very large variables. Here's a replacement for the last part of that
script which solves that problem by using grep instead, though that may mean
you
need to add grep to your dependencies list.
(sorry, I can't do a proper patch as I wrote over the original script when
fixing it - oops!)
shopt -s extglob # We need this to allow the ?( ) syntax in patterns
[ "$SCAN" = "${SCAN/Interface doesn?t support scanning/}" ] || exit 1
[ "$SCAN" = "${SCAN/Operation not supported/}" ] || exit 1
if [ "$MAC_ADDRESS" ] ; then
if [[ -z `echo "$SCAN" | grep "Address:.*$MAC_ADDRESS"` ]]; then
exit 1
fi
fi
if [ "$ESSID" ] ; then
if [[ -z `echo "$SCAN" | grep "ESSID:.*$ESSID"` ]]; then
exit 1
fi
fi
exit 0
