Help test fix for Connected Hosts screen

My main man DoesItMatter fixed me up with a new WZR-HP-G300NH after my WR741ND decided to flake out. Kudos for that.
Now with the WZR-HP-G300NH I have noticed that the "Connected Hosts" screen is broken. Likely broken on other routers as well.
I attach a possible fix for this issue. I am wary of releasing this because there is a lot of variability between routers on the underlying utilities used to produce the Wifi information on this screen. So I am hoping that some generous Gargoyle users will give this a go and post their results.
To install unzip and copy into /usr/lib/gargoyle after first renaming the existing file of the same name.
In any report be sure to name the router(s) you tested on.

Thanks pbix, glad to hear of DoesItMatter's generosity!
a couple of quick questions.
* does this only apply to 1.3.14 version (I've been hesitant to upgrade my gzr-hp-300nh from 1.3.13 which has been stable for me)
* is a reboot required after installing as indicated?
* or is there a CLI command to activate?
Otherwise, I can let you know that on my gzr-hp-300nh (gargoyle 1.3.13 ), connected hosts screen now shows all three sections (Current DHCP Leases,
Connected Wireless Hosts, Hosts With Active Connections) as blank after putting new define_hosts_var.sh into /usr/lib/gargoyle.

Should work on v1.3.13 and does not require a reboot.
Not sure what is going on here. I am afraid that something on OpenWRT has changed between v1.3.13 and v1.3.14 which is causing this issue. I had the blank screen until I fixed it with this file.
How about posting the output of the command 'iw wlan0 station dump". Also what "Operation Mode" do you have under wireless on the connection page. I have N+G+B.

Using 1.3.14 on a TL-WR1043ND using N+G+B connected hosts is empty. I applied the file above and get the same result.

amorangi,
Please post the result of 'iw wlan0 station dump" on this thread. I am very interested in this since you are running v14.
1an,
Your iw output is different than mine so it appears that something in iw (OpenWRT) has changed between v13 & v14. My previous statement that my new file would work on v13 appears to be incorrect.
iw output on WZR-HP-G300NH running v1.3.14 now looks as follows. It appears to have both transmit and receive speeds.
Code: Select all
root@Gargoyle:/tmp# iw wlan0 station dump
Station d8:a2:5e:b6:1b:19 (on wlan0)
inactive time: 66530 ms
rx bytes: 376298

tx bitrate: 54.0 MBit/s

Variance in the output of this command is responsible for empty tables on this page.

Assuming the repository/host for the .sh is up (test DL link locally first!)... this will work...
SSH router, root as login and your password.
Code: Select all
1. cd .. (to root)
2. wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/gargoyle/projects/gargoyle/repository/revisions/9fd4ae0267f6e242a0e581f424f044a627c06c1b/raw/package/gargoyle/files/usr/lib/gargoyle/define_host_vars.sh
3. mv /define_host_vars.sh /usr/lib/gargoyle/ -f

Works here on a TEW-652BRP. Thanks to you and also to DoesItMatter for supporting the developers.
