Package: ceni Version: 2.33-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to configure /etc/network/interfaces and scan for wifi networks from a bare bones Debian Sid installation. Ceni was not able to detect any network interfaces to display them in UI and I was unable to scan for wifi networks or configure e/n/i. I expected Ceni to auto detect my network interfaces using udevadm, however udevadm has moved from /sbin to /usr/sbin. Also, /sbin/iwgetid belongs to wireless-tools which has not been relevant for many years, support for it could be removed at the same time. I suggest to: 1) Depend on libfile-which-perl and call File::Which::which() to find udevadm executable in PATH 2) Remove support for iwgetid 3) Depend on versions of udev package >= that which dropped the udevinfo executable A basic patch is attached to give an idea. Thanks for maintaining Ceni in Debian, I appreciate it.
