Topic

Updated wireless-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The wireless-tools packages contain tools used to manipulate the Wireless
Extensions. The Wireless Extension is an interface that allows the user to set
Wireless LAN specific parameters and to get statistics for wireless networking
equipment.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • In an environment with a large number of wireless access points, using the

wicd connection manager or the network-manager tool to connect to a wireless
network previously failed. With this update, the buffer limit of the "iwlist
scan" command has been adjusted not to exceed the maximum iwlist buffer amount,
which prevents this problem from occurring. (BZ#857920)

Users of wireless-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
