Ok, I figured out what the problem was. I noticed that when you are scanning as root user the behaviour is like decribed in prevous posts.<br>So to get the scanning work simultaneously with internet connection do not become as root.

Hi,<br>Thanks for responses.<br>The exact scenario is to collect only the rssi information from APs and send that information to server. This procedure is repeated in a loop<br>and it doesnt work like it should. I can collect all the information I need but you can not scan APs if your internet connection is up?!
<br>I'm not trying to do any penetratin tests or anything similar.<br><br>Are you Mathias saying that there is no way to scan APs while the internet connection is up and running? <br><br>I'll repeat my questions so you can understand my problem:
<span class="q"><br><br>My questions are:<br>1. Is there a way to get scanning to work while the network connection is on?
<br>2. If not what is the best solution to implement requested functionality (scan network -> send information to server)?<br>3. How does N800 work in this scenario?<br><br></span>- Kalle<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Depending on what kind of information you need, you might also use the<br>python wireless tools bindings (pyiw<br><a href="http://www.emperorlinux.com/etc/contrib/?page=pyiw" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a>).<br><br>In 15 minutes with Python you can make your Wifi network scanner and
<br>post the results to a server.<br><br>Nicolas.<br><br>On 1/31/07, kalle ahokangas <<a href="mailto:kalleahok@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">kalleahok@gmail.com</a>
