Package: wireless-tools Version: 30~pre9-12+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
iwlist fails with the error "Failed to read scan data : Argument list too long" when there are too many reachable access points. I've encountered this issue consistently at certain hotels, and I've had to resort to using iw instead, as this stackoverflow question from March 2017 answer suggests: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42730651/1941755 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages wireless-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libiw30 30~pre9-12+b1 wireless-tools recommends no packages. wireless-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
