Description Santiago Gala 2007-10-24 16:03:39 UTC 
wavemon prints negative chars in the encrypytion key as FFFFFFXX.

Reproducible: Always




I'm attaching a small patch to fix it. Also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=src&data=wavemon&include=tags:patch&exclude=tags:pending&pend-exc=done
there are two debian patches that look usable for wavemon too.

patch for unsigned char

omitting unsigned makes printf print chars >7F as FFFFFFXX

Now that I'm using WPA I'm seeing the the key being used is misreported too (always [0], contrary to what "iwlist eth1 key" says. But I don't see a clear place to patch this one

wavemon-0.6.7 just hit the tree. i believe that version fixed this bug.
