Thanks!

The severity was not serious because iproute is not needed to run
guessnet, but one of the optional scripts.  It could use a 'recommend',
though.  The version of guessnet I'll upload in the next days has the
script changed (thanks to Thomas Hood) to just not use iproute.

But I see you're quite strongly motivated to see guessnet depend on
iproute, which suggests me you are using the test-wireless-ap script:
does it work well?  I don't use guessnet for wireless and I can't test
it (or support it decently), but I'm definitely looking for feedback on
it.


Ciao,
