[Guessnet-devel] Priority of profiles

[Leon Bogaert]

Hi Massimiliano,

The Tim_online essid exists:
root at polly:~# iwlist wlan0 scanning |grep Tim_online
                    ESSID:"Tim_online"

This is the output with "closed" in the _tim rule:
guessnet: Found network Tim_online
guessnet: Testing wireless essid USR5464
guessnet: Testing wireless essid USR5464/essid: fail as essid "Tim_online" is not "USR5464"
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online closed
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online closed: essid passed
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online closed: network Tim_online isOpen is 0, flags 800
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online closed: closed network passed
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online closed: match successful
guessnet: wireless essid Tim_online closed matched network Tim_online
guessnet: Testing wireless open
guessnet: Testing wireless open: network Tim_online isOpen is 0, flags 800
guessnet: Testing wireless open/open: failed because network is closed

Without "closed" in the rule:
guessnet: Found network Tim_online
guessnet: Testing wireless essid USR5464
guessnet: Testing wireless essid USR5464/essid: fail as essid "Tim_online" is not "USR5464"
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online: essid passed
guessnet: Testing wireless essid Tim_online: match successful
guessnet: wireless essid Tim_online matched network Tim_online
guessnet: Testing wireless open
guessnet: Testing wireless open: network Tim_online isOpen is 0, flags 800
guessnet: Testing wireless open/open: failed because network is closed

In both cases this output is returned;
guessnet: Removing candidate wlan0-01_home
guessnet: Removing candidate wlan0-02_tim
guessnet: Keeping candidate wlan0-03_open

Is it maybe the underscore in the essid that it trips over?

Thanks for your help!

Leon

Well here the tim profile is not matched. Maybe wrong essid? Can you try
using only essid matching (without "closed")?

Nope, it's the name of the profile in e-n-i, the one that gets returned
to ifupdown. So you're ok with the experiments you did (apart from the
rule tim not matching, I mean, which is definetly wrong :) ).

Bye.
