Really ... thank you very much for this application:-)...

Although diverging slightly from it's core purpose, it'd be great if cellular monitoring was added into the application :)

I doubt the device can give detailed info on all visible cells (as wifi can), but at the very least I know it can report the signal strength and a few other params of the current cell (see: netmon, and signal strength is just a dbus call away), but it'd be nice to have it all together in one wireless networking monitoring application.

...what I particularly want is your graphical logging for cellular network signal strength though ;) That'd be killer for comparisons if possible.

Ok. I figured it out. Since Qt4 comes from nokia, there is no reason not to have pyqt4 in extras. So, pyqt4 is promoted along with wifieye as a dependency.

Now, lets wait for qt4.6 :-)

AFAICT, even though I can promote WifiEye to extras, the dependencies are not available there. Is PyQt4 (python2.5-qt4-gui etc...) available in extras? Will PyQt4 enter extras if I promote the package (because it is a library)?

I'll be glad to promote it as long as it will work.

@Stefanos: Do you plan on promoting this package to Extras soonish ? I don't want to sound pushy, but I need to plan for future PyQt releases (which is tricky due to the way dependencies are handled in the promotion mechanism).

Nice app, definitely deserves to be promoted to Extras! Up up up! :)

@Stefanos: ok then, in any case your app is under the actual rootfs usage limit for going to Extras, as already said, so that is not a big problem.

@Emanuele: Because of the way python is optified, all files in those directories (meaning: almost all python programs) are automatically optified. Those directoried are bind-mounded from /opt. At least, this is the case for my N900. Don't know if I'm missing something.

@Dawid: The whole idea is not mine. Wifieye is a clone of Wifi-analyzer that is available for android phones. I realy liked that program when a friend of mine showed it, so I just made wifieye. The only genuine thing is the list view because it can show the signal of each AP, even when there are multiple APs for the same ESSID. That was something I needed to test the wireless coverage at my job. The eye-candies of list-view are also genuine.

@Stefanos: don't thank me, you deserve the thumb up! I'm just following our testing criteria ;)

I was talking about the /pyshared files, is there any problem with their optification?

Probably the most useful wifi scanner I've seen to date, especially that channel overlapping view. Thumbs up.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

Just to make this clear, are you referring to just /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/wifieye.png or to files under /usr/share/pyshared too ?

App works well, but it is not optified. It occupies very little space in rootfs, but every contribute is welcome.

I'm voting thumbs up because you do not reach the space occupation limit for thumbing down, but please consider optification for your next release.

That is already part of the master plan but it is not easy (it would be there if it was). python-wifi, which I'm using, doesn't provide this information or even the raw data. It completely discards those data (the information elements that iwlist shows). It seems that I have to either implement it myself or drop python-wifi and parse the output of "iwlist wlan0 scanning" command. The first is quite hard and the second is not that good.

Works here. I see you went for a third view, how about adding security type in this Detail view, like in the default N900 networks view. open, wep, wpa or open-lock, single-lock, dual-lock or even just the name of the protection used, like in Inssider. Thank you.
