Ok I've just installed it really like the time graph, very useful for finding the best place to stand for a strong signal.

One minor complaint the colour for my router keeps changing, would be better if an ssid kept the same colour all the time it is visible.

Avoid it. Only a part of it works.

But have a look at 0.3.1-1 when it appears. It has a new feature and an eye-candy and it seems to work well :-)

As usual, be afraid of extras-devel and submit bug-reports and ideas often :-)

Well, it is supposed to keep the same color in time-graph (if not then it is a bug). I suppose you refer to the channel-graph. In that case, I'll add this in my TODO list.

I installed this gadget and out of app manager and when it starts the window just collapses ad crashes. Do I need to install anything else?

Open a terminal and run "wifieye". If it crashes it will (most probably) show some error messages . If you can show me those messages I may be able to fix the problem.

EDIT: If you used version 0.3.0 then this is expected behavior. Use 0.2.1-1 or 0.3.1-1.

I have loaded 3.1-1.

The time graph in 3.0-1 was much smother, this version is very jerky and leaves gaps in the graph when the display goes black and after a couple of timeouts the graph stops working even if I switch to channels and back again.

The jerkiness is a side-effect of the new timer. I'll fix that in a new version but be sure that this version avoids the problem when a scan could take more than a second.

As for the gaps, I can't see them. Can you give a screenshot or some more info on how I may reproduce them?

Also, what you mean by "timeouts"?

Got it. This should happen with 0.3.0 too. I suppose that the device lowers its speed and that it takes more time to prepare the wlan0 interface when it is down. I didn't have this problem because I was always connected to wlan.

To fix this edit /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/wifieye/scan.py and:
a) add "import time" at the beginning, along with other imports
b) find the line "subprocess.call(["/sbin/ifconfig", iface, "up"])" and after that (before the try) add the line: "time.sleep(0.3)". Be sure to use the same number of spaces as the other lines.

It will make the graph more slow but it will not have gaps.
