Empty stats in /proc/net/wireless in TurrisOS 7.1.0?

Software SW bugs discussion

I had not updated for a while and the latest update brought me up to 7.1.0.

Since the update I have noticed that /proc/net/wireless, while populated, never shows anything but zeros.

root@turris:~# cat /proc/net/wireless

Has anyone else noticed this?

I see the same. However I did not even know this existed and hence can only confirm that with 7.1 it is all zeros… but I trust you that it contained useful values before…

Yes, Netdata used to be able to pull these metrics and provide wireless statistics.

Now Netdata provides the same zeros for everything as seen in the source /proc/net/wireless file. I’ve confirmed that wireless stats in collected encounter the same issue.
