kano-wifi fails when using non-standard wifi dongle

[thecodenomad]

When using a non-standard (but completely supported) wifi dongle, kano-wifi bombs out with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/kano-wifi", line 358, in
iwl = IWList(wiface).getList(unsecure=False, first=False)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kano/network.py", line 44, in init
self.refresh(iwlist=iwlist)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kano/network.py", line 209, in refresh
self.data = parseRawData(rawdata)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kano/network.py", line 88, in parseRawData
cellNumber, cellData = parseCellData("\n".join(s))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kano/network.py", line 172, in parseCellData
cellData["Channel"] = getCellChannel(s)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kano/network.py", line 121, in getCellChannel
return s.strip().split(" ")[3][0:-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Please let me know what other information I can include to help debug.

Thanks for reporting @rrgomez :)

Which WiFi dongle are you using?

[thecodenomad]

Sure thing, I haven't had a chance to start digging into the python else I'd be able to give more reasonable information.

The card itself is a Netgear WNDA4100

It has USBIDs:
0846:9012 -or- 148f:3573

Chipset:
Ralink RT3573

On a 14.04 install, this card works 'out of the box', reference to kernel driver:

IDS first seen in kernel 3.12:

Excellent! Thanks @rrgomez I'll now create a ticket for the team to address this issue :)
