wireless_tools

[Chris Johnson]

Hello,

the patch "wireless_tools.29-header.patch.bz2" for wireless_tools breaks network-scanning on my laptop using "iwlist". Here is an example of a network scan with the patch applied:

iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 02 - Address: 00:1D:7D:34:D4:9E
                    Channel:7
                    Frequency:2.442 GHz (Channel 7)
                    Quality=53/70  Signal level=-57 dBm  
                    Encryption key:00
                    ESSID:"H"
                    Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
                              24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
                    Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
                    Mode:Master
                    Extra:

If wireless_tools is build without the patch, a scan looks like this:

iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:1D:7D:34:D4:9E
                    Channel:7

                    Quality=52/70  Signal level=-58 dBm  
                    Encryption key:on
