Description Achim Bohnet 2006-06-14 19:05:50 UTC 
Version:           0.4.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-686

Here the output of ifconfig that confuses knemo:

$ LANGUAGE=en LC_ALL=C ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:35:A5:27:D4
          inet6 addr: fe80::20e:35ff:fea5:27d4/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0xe000 Memory:fafef000-fafeffff

$

I'll upload a screeshot that show the garbage in the tab.

Hi Achim,

the output of 'iwconfig' is used for the wireless tab. Could you please post its output and maybe the version of the wireless tools you are using. I am using wireless-tools-28pre13-20 without problems.

Hi Percy,

uhm, iwconfig right. Silly me!

# dpkg -l wireless-tools | tail -1

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I will be closing this bug.
