LinSSID detects 6 GHz networks, lists their frequency correctly, but the channel number ist always 0. The 6 GHz networks are shown in the 5 GHz graph on the extreme left side. They should be in an own graph with correct channel number. The protocol column of the table omits 802.11 a, ax and be capabilities. My 802.11be networks are shown as "bg" when they should be "abgnacaxbe".

When installing linssid_3.6-1_amd64.deb, I got an error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-regex1.65.1. But I can only find later versions (1.67, 1.71, 1.74) of libboost-regex. Best regards -- Francis

Hi! I found the same behaviour. It's a Dell Vostro machine with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. When I first installed LinSSD, it worked fine. LinSSD version now is 2.7 and Ubuntu tells me that 2,7 already is the newest version . Since some update Linssd doesn't show any WiFi graph.

Registered an account here so I could share what I learned. I've been a user of the Ubuntu family since I started using Linux, but now I am giving Fedora (KDE) a try, and LinSSID is the only thing thus far that I have not found a Fedora binary for that I had in Ubuntu. In order to get this to compile on Fedora (32, currently), I installed the following packages: qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel qwt-devel boost-devel qwt5-qt5-devel when those are installed, enter this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libqwt-qt5.so.6...

Hi again, Today I fixed a new warning from Debian. The .desktop file should use a 64x64 (or higher) icon to be compliant with AppStream, followed by Debian. Consequently, I did the following change: -Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/linssid48.png +Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/linssid.png Cheers, Eriberto

Reason for me installing LinSSId was that in using wifi at Starbucks at least two people, one who spends probably 7 or more hours here seem to overpower Starbucks' wifi signal. My thinking was to find some proof of this and report to FCC. My surprise after installing the program to Debian 9 and scanning I no longer have the problem. While my netbook is using wifi successfully, attempt to use wifi on my Android phone often doesn't work and am assuming it is the idiots interfering. One thing I've learned...

Hi everyone! Using LinSSID version 3.6. I do not have enough to export the scan result to a file, such as a .csv file. Is it possible to implement this? Still. The LinSSID settings have the "Log Data" option. Write, please, what is this option, what is the data and where is it written?

Hi, the behaviour I'm looking for is to clear the list and forget all attach points. Therefore it woule be the same result as closing and reopening the application. Button will be nice, but I would also love keyboard shortcut (like mentioned Ctrl+X) ;-) PS. should I get e-mail notification every time the topic is updated if I check the below "Subscribe to this topic" link?

Great WIFI tool. I've used inssider for a while on windows and this tool fills the need on Linux. I have version 3.6 compiled under Raspbian Stretch running on raspberry pi 3B+ and 0W hardware. Very useful. Is there a method/option to get it to start up in the running state? I attached a pi to a monitor and have linssid startup under autostart but it comes up paused, requiring a mouse to be attach to start scanning. Thanks!

I'm guessing that the behavior you'd like to see is a button (or similar) to hide all of the currently displayed attach points, both in the list and in the charts. A similar behavior would be would be to have a button to clear and forget all of the found attach points, effectively starting from scratch, but of course the list and charts would fill up again with all of the previously cleared entries. Am I correct that the first behaviour is the one you're looking for, and not the second?

Hallo, I've recently came across LinSSID when I was searching suitable replacement for WifiInfoView (great tiny tool) on Linux. While it seems that LinSSID would be a good replacement, I miss the ability to clean detected network list. In WifiInfoView it is done by Ctrl+X. The advantage is that if I test something in the lab, I want to get rid of all non-existent networks on the list. BR, Kiziuk.

Version 3.6 now latest, OK, so I've been really bored. Plus, my neighbor just installed a mesh network with 16(!) attach points!. Dual band, so 8 nodes. One for each room in his house plus a bathroom or two. (What is he thinking!?) Another neighbor has a mesh as well, so now able to see if LinSSID can decipher mesh. This release makes an attempt to decipher mesh according to 802.11s. WDS is still up in the air.

I got bored and made another couple of tweeks to LinSSID. Version 3.5 is now current. What changed: Vendor database now includes not just IEEE MAC large block subscribers, but also medium and small block subscribers. The trick was to find a way to match 6-nibble, 7-nibble, and 9-nibble MAC address groups in a binary chop search. SSID display now shows "" instead of just blank for hidden attach points.

Version 3.4 is now current. This is a bug-fix revision. It fixes the issue that began in version 3.1, where the necessity of using Policykit caused the preferences and datalog files to be stored in /root and owned by root. Now, using the standard .desktop launch with pkexec, the preferences and and datalog files are placed in $HOME and owned by $USER as it should be. Also fixed is the vendor database file which in version 3.3 had some extraneous characters at the end of the vendor names that played...
