I read a howto on wifi-rader and got interested in, so I did the think, when I try to run the program in bash terminal the output saying eth1 failed to read scan data : no data available

my guess is that the program didn't detect my cisco wireless card


how come my wireless card is eth1 not wlan0, wired ah

Thank in advance

Please post your logs here ...

You need to manually configure the program using it's configuration file before it will work.

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I have edit the /etc/wifi-rader/wifi-rader.conf

[DEFAULT]
ifup_required = False
auto_profile_order =
speak_up = False
scan_timeout = 5
interface = eth1
commit_required = False

as you see i have edit the the interface to eth1 before it was eth0

Hm. I try to analyze your system but your essid name is empty. I think your problem is about configuration of wireless options. To clearify this , can you get this command on your console:

In here, you will see your essid name ...

Please, post your log.
