I was trying to scan wifi channels. I emerged linssid and got this:

Quote:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
cat: /proc/net/wireless: No such file or directory


Also got a box which had this:

Quote:

Cannot continue.
Cannot find interface pipe


I guess the refers to:

Quote:

cat: /proc/net/wireless: No such file or directory


This program may be a bit long in the tooth though.

Thanks,
Gene

I guess you need to enable in kernel
Networking support → Wireless → cfg80211 - wireless configuration API → cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility
Code:
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT:

  Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
  extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
