iw output

Full output of iw at this location

Created attachment 11212 [details]
iwlist output at same location and almost same time

iwlist scan
output at same location and almost (within 20 sec) same time.

I can't think of a reason why our iw output would be different than upstream's, but assigning to our iw maintainer in case he doesn't think this is an upstream issue.

Johannes Berg upstream says he has pushed a fix which I presume will come out in the next version.  Here is the git entry:

Yes, I have been using it since Jul 27, and have had no problems.

Now we just need to get Network Center to use iw rather than iwlist, and everything will be great (ie, no more discovering you cannot connect to anything if there are too many access points in a place (eg airports, hospitals, universities). But that is another issue.

Johannes finally released a new version thats is basically all what we already patched in + a few missing renporting of new features the kernel exposes, so I decided to update to it:

So they are now:

iw-5.3-1.mga7.src.rpm
