Bug#610120: RFP: inSSIDer -- graphical wifi scanner
Hi there.
Just for the record, I have 0-knowledge of C# and similar stuff, but I am
willing to lend a hand here, as I used the program once and it really solved
my problem at the time (besides having an attractive look).

Yes, that's semi-useless, but perhaps the person planning on doing the job
might want to choose one of the options below:
1. Poke upstream to know which sources they used to create that package.
2. Try to use the patch that is available at the github page [0] and the
corresponding sources to publish, at least a preliminary debian package
to test with newer kernels. (Then, polish things more and have a proper
package in place).
3. Wait for upstream to, eventually, give Linux some attention and release
something...
IMVHO, option 2 would be my choice, followed by 1, and, only if those fail,
choose 3.
Actually, if 2 or 1 is chosen, perhaps upstream may be motivated to do 3...

It is my understanding that the linux version is something of a pre-alpha,
but, as I said above, it worked really when when I tried it to see some
conflicts here in my new home.
