Hello Matthew,
wlan-ui, version 0.4, parses ifconfig output in order
to test whether an connection attempt has been
successful.
This fails when the locale setting of the root user is
different from english.
I solved this by making sure that the command is
run with the C locale. For that I replaced
my $if_string = `$if_cmd`;
by
my $if_string = `LC_ALL=C ; $if_cmd`;
in "parse_ifconfig".
Although iwconfig - whose output wlan-ui also
parses - doesn't seem to be localized to german
yet, I also changed the call of iwconfig approbiately
by replacing
my $iw_string = `$iw_cmd`;
with
my $iw_string = `LC_ALL=C ; $iw_cmd`;
in "parse_iwconfig".
Sorry no patch as I made more changes to the
script ;-).
