[Bug 398205] [NEW] Geolocation via WLAN doesn't seem to work

[iGEL]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

2) $ apt-cache policy firefox-3.5
firefox-3.5:
  Installed: 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1

3) When I go to http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/
and click the "Give it a try!" link and the "Where am I?", I'll just get
the general area I'm currently in. It looks like the detection or
transmission of my surrounding WLANs doesn't work and the geolocation
lookup just uses the IP address.

4.) When I use the official Firefox build from Mozilla on the same
computer, the geolocation demo returns a location very close to my
actual location. Thus, it seems to use the WLAN data.

** Affects: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu)
