And the new wifi.sh version is better than the original wifi.sh, then I switch a Wifi network and ignore the characters that are parsed by the shell.

original version:


version 2011-07-14:
It's will not work like  ... , -2, -1, 0, 1, ... even the unexpected characters appear.

Actually, I can del this chars and choose what I want, but with the SSID-less-Wifi-Network,
the string will be shifted, and work like that

original version:

That's all, how to deal with the Wifi-Network that hide SSID?

No claim to any support for hidden sid.
Use any of the many network managers currently in the repo.

I used  Apps Audit to look for updates and updated wifi.tcz.

I activated wifi.tcz and the usual Access Points were identified.

I selected the access point I normally use and I was asked for a password and to re enter it again.

The password was accepted but it could not associate it with the access point.

It has been working perfectly with the prior version.

Can I still get the prior version or is there something I should try.

As I kept copies of the four versions so far I'm attaching an archive that contains all of them (with dates in their respective file names).

It is crucial that you report back (with specific details) your findings if it turns out that an older version works better for you to give Robert a chance to get to the bottom of it.

Maro,
I need some help. Normally I copy a .tcz file to tce/optional.  What should I do with the tgz file. Do I need to create a wifi.tcz file using the wifi.tgz file.  Is there another way to install the tgz file.

Thanks,
Tony

A tgz file is like a zip file - I presume the previous versions of wifi.tcz are to be found inside.

Copy the tgz file to /tmp, "cd /tmp" and then "tar xzf *.tgz" you should then see the contents of the tgz file in /tmp

The password was accepted but it could not associate it with the access point.



How long is your password?
Does it contain any 'special' characters? e.g.: forward or back slash ( \ / ), quote marks ( " ') or $

The first version is using a database that is not compatible with subsequent versions.

Using the latest version please open an xterm and run wifi.sh.
Take a screenshot and post here.

I removed my wifi.tcz with AppsAudit
Installed current version of wifi.tcz using Apps
I used sudo wifi.sh to run the application

TRY 1 failed
TRY 2 was successful

following is the output of the two tries I ran using 
Note in TRY1
   -  Strength is 70 for all access points
   -  my target is item 13

Note in TRY2
   - Strength is unique for each access point and in descending order
   - my target is item 1

 
I restarted tcl several times and found the same pattern- failure/success-   after selecting my access point and failing,   subsequent tries  succeeded.

From output seems like your initial iwlist is not reporting correctly.

From a cold boot (power off & reboot) open an xterm and type

iwlist wlan0 scanning

Check to see if the initial iwlist is reporting all APs at the same signal strength. Post output here.

iwlist is the standard utility to generate your AP pick list.
