Package: wireless-tools
Version: 27-2
Severity: important
Running iwconfig with no arguments results in a segfault under Sparc.
I've tried different kernels, and different drivers (orinoco_pci,
linux_wlan_pci, currently hostap_pci), and the results are always the
same. Type script follows (wireless interface is wlan0):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
