Hi MaxFury
The error message:
Code: [Select]
print_scanning_info: Allocation failedis occurring when wifi.sh runs:
Code: [Select]
iwlist "$WIFI" scanning
It looks like it's a bug in iwlist:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15363

wireless_tools might need to be updated.

Hi MaxFury
What should I do?

wifi.sh creates a file in your home directory called wifi.db.
If you run:
Code: [Select]
sudo wifi.sh -ait automatically connects to the first entry in that file
instead of scanning.

The format of the file is:
Code: [Select]
Linksys00216 Password WPA
NETGEAR53 Password WPA
So if you know the name of the access point, you can
create that file. The gaps between access point,Password. and
WPA are tabs, not blank spaces. Replace Password with your
password.
