Only supports interface names that start with wlan on linux
Here's a quick fix to support any wifi interface name on linux:
The wifi interface name on my linux device is "wlp1s0", so searching for "DEVICE:\s+wl" works, but the solution I provided is more robust, and retrieves more info.
I have other fixes/enhancements that I'd be happy to work on, if you'd like to give me write access to this repository, or at least to a branch that I can work on.
Thanks - Bob
Note - I only updated autoFindInterface; I'll need write access before I spend time updating the rest of the module.
Nice! Well, I welcome any pull request that doesn't break anything. I'm usually too busy to maintain my open source stuff, unfortunately, so I'm not opposed to opening the repo to other admins. How about you submit a PR and we'll take it from there? Please note that this is a CoffeeScript project so contributions will have to change the CS to be accepted, not the JS.
Cool - will do. Kinda swamped at the moment; I'll submit a PR when I come up for air.
Thanks!
I'm also coming across this issue on linux machines. My laptop's wifi device name is wlp3s0
so I'm getting this error message:
"WiFiControl: You cannot scan for nearby WiFi networks without a valid wireless interface."
