Previously, the fields in the wireless module were declared but not explicitly
initialized upon declaration. As nothing else would do so afterwards, this
could introduce random characters left over in the memory segment into
the fields. This was explicitly observed in the essid-field, but likely
a possibility for other fields as well. Hence, this commit adds explicit
initialization with zero bytes to all fields to ensure proper
termination of all fields.
Fixes#432
New matrix for 5 jobs in total.
Updates our checks to bionic & xenial. Trusty could also be
included but it is a bit outdated at this point.
I use bionic to pull a more recent clang-format and use a dedicated job
just to check formatting. An alternative would be to conditionally run
the formatting script only on bionic.
I don't think that there is a better way to expand a `dist` x `compiler`
matrix (except using docker).
Use station info instead of bss info to update %signal and %quality.
Bss info is based on scan info and doesn't get updated often. Station
info get's updated with every beacon. Bss info still used as fallback.
its now possible to have percentage before and after a variable. except
for the date. But percentage with dates does not make much sense to me, so
i skipped it.
Fixes a compilation error:
/usr/include/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h:339: warning: implicit declaration of function 'howmany'
/usr/include/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h:339: error: 'NBBY' undeclared here (not in a function)
/usr/include/net80211/ieee80211_ioctl.h:339: error: variably modified 'nr_rxmcs' at file scope
- Instead of hoping that the currently associated AP will show up as
the first AP in the list of scan results, fetch the BSSID of the
currently associated AP and use that to fetch station info for the
AP. This provides more frequently updated signal strength
information than scan results and reliably provides information when
multiple APs are in range.
- Do not treat the RSSI value as a raw signal value in dBm. Instead, use
the same formula as ifconfig(8) to compute a signal value.
- Do not report the beacon interval value as a signal quality level.
On laptops one may want to have all interfaces up in order to let network
prioritization manage switching between wired and wireless connection. In such
cases lack of IP address is a useful hint about currently used interface, and
color-coding makes it stand out more.
In many public WiFis, the 2.4 GHz wireless band is slow due to
congestion, while there is still plenty of bandwidth available on the
5 GHz area. So when debugging wireless issues it's convenient to have
i3status display the frequency of the access point that the interface is
connected to.
This patch adds support for the %frequency tag for wireless interfaces,
so for example:
format_up = "WLAN: %essid - %quality / %frequency"
would result in:
"WLAN: eduroam - 074% / 2.4 GHz"
