[Bug 1813] Re: testmii doesn't work unless the interface is configured

[Daniel Robitaille]

According to the changelogs, this was fixed with version 0.3.21:

whereami (0.3.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove stuff from /var/lib/whereami in prerm.
  * Add pointer in README to mailing lists that are now setup.
  * Daniel Bonniot supplied a fix to make dhclient3 exit in a manner that is
    appropriate for whereami (closes: #308980).
  * The testmii script will now bring up the interface before checking to see
    if there really is a network connection (closes: #285703).
  * Patched html docs (man pages are still better) (closes: #177873).
  * Added /usr/local/share/whereami to path (closes: #288718)
  * Added $scriptbase/actions to path, moved actions in there and symlinked
    back to their old locations. (closes: #177906)
  * Added a '!location' flag in whereami.conf to indicate "not in this
    location" kinds of actions.  (closes: #194060)
  * Added "iwconfig essid on" to testap/testssid (closes: #309279)
  * Man pages and examples updated (closes: #178235)
  * Applied patch from Peter Koellner to allow quoting of parameters to test
    scripts in detect.conf.
  * Added "setproxy" script to work with Squid proxies as well as Oops ones.

So this means this bug should be solved starting with Ubuntu Dapper (currently contains 0.3.28).  I'll mark this report fixed.  Please re-open if you find that this problem is still present in Dapper.
