Hi All,
The missing '^' in the regexp makes oscap 0.8.0 (from the RHEL6 repo)
scan the whole filesystem. Credits to Gary Gapinsky for the quick fix.
Jeffrey suggested replacing the check by a version that would advice
disabling the driver in /etc/modules.conf (see the 'oscap hangs on
wireless_disable_drivers.xml' thread). I'm not familiar with a robust
way to determine the presence of such a NIC without using specialized
utilities that might not be installed on the system. I did a `grep
net/wireless /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep` to see if all
wireless drivers maybe shared a common dependency but this is not the
case. Also, I queried the device using udevadm for attributes unique
to wireless cards but could not see anything obvious :
udevadm info --path=/sys/class/net/wlan0 --attribute-walk
looking at device
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0/bcma0:0/net/wlan0':
KERNEL=="wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{addr_assign_type}=="0"
ATTR{addr_len}=="6"
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0"
ATTR{ifalias}==""

udevadm info --path=/sys/class/net/eth0 --attribute-walk
looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eth0':

If anyone can give me a suggestion I'd be happy to spend more time on it.
Regards,
Willem.
