Package: whereami
Version: 0.3.20
Severity: normal
found a number of problems with testap/testssid:
- iwlist wlan0 scan sometimes misses the net I am looking for.
- IDs including a space like "wireless Extreme" can only be passed to
testap using a wildcard pattern, but then the scan problem kicks in, and
it looks as if then the wildcard pattern is used as ESSID.
I was able to change the network id as a workaround.
- My wlan interface requires a
iwconfig ${INTERFACE} essid on
before
iwconfig ${INTERFACE} essid ${ESSID}
in the testap and testssid scripts to work, or else the essid will
not be set.
I changed the tests accordingly and then they worked.
