roberts:
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.
pugliese:
power off and reboot:
iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 Failed to read scan data: Network is down
sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down
roberts:
Please try:
sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
