Applescript for Internet Connect

Greetings,

I'm trying to do something really simple and it's not working. I've followed all the steps in the book! What i want to do, is create an Applescript that will return info on the currently connected wireless network...

Here is what I have so far:

tell application "Internet Connect"
	get the signal level of AirPort configuration 1
end tell

I'm connected via the airport with at least a 90% signal. But it returns 0.

I've tried AirPort Power and it returns False
I've tried Network Name and nothing.

What am i missing here?

I'm running a MacBookPro with 10.4.8

Thanks!

Chris

I haven't looked at it,...

I haven't looked at it, but are you trying to read "signal strength" as an integer? If so, percentages are fractions/floats. So, 90% is actually .90, which if you are reading as an integer will always report as zero.

Internet Connect took the blue pill

Some precursory searching turned up this link, which basically seems to say Internet Connect is missing a few screws...
