Package: guessnet
Version: 0.45-1
Severity: important
This version of guessnet does not parse essid containing spaces in
ifupdown mode. In particular I have a stanza:
iface home inet static
address 10.0.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.0.1.255
gateway 10.0.1.254
dns-nameservers 10.0.1.254
test wireless essid House in the Woods
as well as others. The output of guessnet run as
cat /dev/null | guessnet -i --debug ath0
is:
guessnet: 0 candidate profiles
guessnet: Added "default" test none
guessnet: Initialized test subsystems
guessnet: Starting all 1 startables
guessnet: Starting elements with priority 10
guessnet: Starting wireless scan
guessnet: Started tests
guessnet: 5 candidates
guessnet: Found network House in the Woods
guessnet: Testing wireless essid House
guessnet: Testing wireless essid House/essid: fail as essid "House in the
Woods" is not "House"
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Wireless
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Wireless/essid: fail as essid "House in the
Woods" is not "Wireless"
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Town
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Town/essid: fail as essid "House in the Woods"
is not "Town"
guessnet: Testing wireless essid ASTRO
guessnet: Testing wireless essid ASTRO/essid: fail as essid "House in the
Woods" is not "ASTRO"
guessnet: End of wireless scan
none
My workaround is to downgrade to guessnet_0.42-1.
