wifi.tcz
coreplayer2:
Second attempt to show list of available AP's is always blank, while third attempt succeeds. This occurs when a rescan is selected. I believe we've had this issue in the past, but has been re-introduced just recently.
This screenshot shows the second and failed (background wifi.sh window) attempt to enumerate the list of AP's, Whereas the third successful (foreground wifi.sh window) attempt.
bmarkus:
My experience with current and previous release that first attempt list AP's correctly but connections fails, while 2nd try is OK.
coreplayer2:
Ok, have added above that this event occurs only when a rescan is requested. sorry

Just a quick note / question....
I noticed that the auto-connect of wifi.sh had stopped working recently after updating the extensions. Have now tracked this to a change in wifi.sh in that it now uses the flag "-a" for auto-connect rather than the word auto.
Was this change advertised anywhere other than in the info file for the extension? (a search of the forum for wifi.sh doesn't come up with anything) If not it has probably caused many people to lose the auto-connect on boot if bootlocal.sh still has "wifi.sh auto" rather than "wifi.sh -a".
Edit:
OK so found the reference at: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,14045.msg80155.html#msg80155 . Funny how a search for "wifi.sh" "-a" didn't throw this up
