Bug Description

Binary package hint: wifi-radar

Under Feisty (clean install) wifi-radar doesn't detect the connected IP address of my linksys wmp54g (ralink2500) card. It does list the available SSIDs, but puts as connected ip address a weird one, which in fact belongs to the eth:avahi (whatever avahi is), as seen below:

eth0:avah Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:6E:A3:32:12
          inet addr:169.254.5.36 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          Interrupt:21

Also, the application behaves extremely slow. After clicking an SSID, the highlight takes about 4 seconds until it moves to the new selection. The buttons are totally non-functional. (No way to disconnect / edit / create new etc)

I downloaded the latest wifi-radar 1.9.8, and the IP address problem got fixed, and the buttons now work. However, the slowness problem (4 seconds to respond) of the UI is still present.

Thanks
