no wifis found on Ubuntu 14.04, nmcl tool version 0.9.8.8

WiFiControl.scanForWiFi( function(err, response) {
    if (err) console.log(error);
    console.log(response);
  });

Doesn´t find any wlan.
I have fixed it in my fork, so that it is working for me.

Hi Paul, and thank you for your time.

However, any edits must be made to https://github.com/msolters/wifi-control-node/blob/master/src/wifi-control.coffee and compiled to the .js target. Do not edit the .js directly as it will be overwritten by later edits or contributions.

I believe the changes you are interested in making begin here

[paulpfeiffer1988]

Hey thanks i will have a look at this tomorrow.

But again, please could you tell me what is your license?

ATP there is no license defined. Provided its dependencies though, I think that it should be MIT.

Hi. Today I had time to test the other functions of your project on Ubuntu
14.04 and there are even more problems . In addition , I read you've tested
the code on Ubuntu 15.04 ? Perhaps nmcli is generally different in the two
versions of Ubuntu? How should we proceed?

Well I think the best way would be to create an issue for each problem you encounter. We are relying on a precise formatting when we parse nmcli so its quite easy to break or fool by changing the results just a bit.

[msolters]

I think that at this point what would make the most sense is to migrate from nmcli to the iw tool. This would only affect linux, and I think it would produce more stable results from distro to distro.

FYI - I've created a fork and updated the Linux script to work with nmcli 0.9.8.8 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help bring this into the project. Perhaps two separate OS specific scripts selected based on the nmcli version?

[msolters]

Hey @cmaissan I'm sure you have already a working solution for yourself, but I wonder if you might be bothered to try a different type of solution. I replaced almost all of the nmcli logic with iw, iwconfig and ifconfig. You can try it out in PR #16 . I'm not sure if it will fix the 14.04 issues, but that's why I'm asking for testers!

[cmaissan]

Hi @msolter. Thanks, we will check it out.
