Add networking info back into diagnostics
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:47:12 UTC
In SS v7.3.x I was able to get a lot of extra networking information on the Controller by going through the process of selecting a different wireless network but by selecting the one I am already connected to. This gave the following information: State: [Connected or Disconnected] SSID: [name of your wireless network] BSSID: [MAC Address of the wireless access point you are connected to] Encryption: [WPA-PSK, WEP etc] IP Address: [IP of the Controller] SNR: [dB] Tx rate: [Controller transmit rate Mb/s] In SS v7.4.x this is no longer available and I particularly need to know my BSSID. As James Richardson mentions in this forum thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71348 ...this information needs to be added back into the diagnostics section on the Controller.
Just for completness I do note that some of the information I stated is already in diagnostics - BSSID is certainly not.

Rather than string you along indefinitely, I'm marking this one wontfix because it's never going to get management priority. Sorry...
