Is There A Wifi Sitesurvey App For Oz?

[wrenhal]

I'm wondering if there is a site survey app for OZ.  One that can give me a full list of available wifi spots in the area and then allow me to choose which one to connect to.  standard sharp rom just seems to connect to whatever is available unless you force the networking applet to do otherwise.  
It would need to show me channel, signal strength, type of encryption and SSID.  I'm not familiar with linux very much at all, but on Windows I use a program called net stumbler because my laptop maker didn't include an app like this for windows.

I don't know if there is an OZ specific one, but I use Wifi-Radar which works well in OZ &  pdaXrom. You can find it here: [a href=\"http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/]http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/[/url]

If anyone's interested, attached is a installable ipk I created from the debian packge. Works ok AFAICT.

Hmm, I've tried both the ipk posted in this thread and the one from the 3.5.4 feeds on both my 3.5.3 and my 3.5.4 based SL-5500's, both using opie. In both cases I end up with a similar error:


This error is from the ipk posted in this thread

This is the error using wifi-radar from the 3.5.4 feeds

Any ideas or suggestions, or will it only run under GPE?

Yes wifi-radar is GPE only.

If I run the version from the feed with the icon it doesn't find anything.  If I run it from command line it works.  Both run from the root user account.  Any ideas??


Oops, now I see, works from the menu, but not the desktop icon, weird.
