Wireless Assistant causes BT3 to freeze

[Chaemelion]

I'm running BT3 on a virtual machine and on occasion, when I'm using Wireless Assistant, BT3 will freeze completely. I cannot even move the mouse. All I can do is reset the virtual machine. It freezes about 3 out of 10 times, the other 7 times everything works perfectly. I don't know if this is a widely known bug but I didn't see anything about it... Anybody have a solution or workaround (besides not using it...)? Or at least some input here?

I'm using Wireless Assistant 0.5.7 that comes with BT3 if it helps any

A day late and a few dollars short.

Yes it is widely known, and there are probably 3.67 million threads on it here.

Anybody have a solution or workaround (besides not using it...)? Or at least some input here?

root@BT# insert wireless commands here

See above

Again just use the command line and it should work no problemo.
Hit back if you need more help.

I hate having to configure everything manually and before I found out about Network Assistant, I had some problems with acquiring an IP address...
I guess I'll just have to put up with it or write a script... Just wondering, is it known what's actually causing it?

Yes you can just write a script or switch to bt4 I think the gui networking bit ( whatever it is called) is more reliable.
As for the cause I do not remember nor do most people really care since it is more reliable and just as easy to use the command line, and or a script that can be enabled at boot.

Yea, wireless assistant is a piece of crap.
