Re: [Wifiadmin-users] WiFiAdmin wlan0 wireless status and wireless setting issues

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

Here is what i found.

About the fake wifi interface names.
There is a little bug with wifiadmin 0.0.4 and newest hostap driver. It 
exposes some fake interface names, wifiX, that do no harm, but look 
ugly. Here:

http://wifiadmin.sourceforge.net/no-wifi.patch

is a patch against wifiadmin-0.0.4 that fixes the problem. To apply it, 
download it to a convenient path, cd to wifiadmin-0.0.4 directory, and 
run: patch -p1 < path-to-the-patch/no-wifi.patch. This will also fix the 
proc/net/hostap/wifi0/ap_control missing issue.

About the wlan0 tab missing from your wireless status page, could you 
post your iwconfig output, and your ls -lhR /proc/net/hostap output?
