Getting app to run is easy but APIs needed do not exist in 10.5 or older.

We have a alpha version but nothing ready for release in near future.

In the Scan tab, I get stuck in a loop with warning popup saying “The operation couldn’t be completed. (APPLE80211_ERROR_DOMAIN error 6.). Restarting WiFi Scanner does not fix this.

The universal bugaboo strikes again, someone assumes we know what the operation concerned is, but I have no clue (just trying to run WiFi Scanner.

Another bug: I find that the popup (Monitor screen?) when in [Scan] then selecting an entry, can get stuck so it cannot be closed. Have to force abort the app.

The beep (audio) signal signal strength feedback does not work for me. I kept walking away from the signal until it failed, the beeps did not change.

For a start, I’d like to see a simple histogram bar per signal, a simple visual monitor of signal strength.

All in, I’m finding the app a tad flaky.

Please make it universal and run under older OS X, 10.4 and 10.5.

Thanks.

Guys, is there a plan to support previous version of leopard ? Or maybe at least point to a similar product for leo?

Hi,

This application is really nice. If the ssid is not broadcasting, is there a way to force join to a particular ssid.
