Hi @IngoTB303, Yes I know about this. It is inside one of the crate that netscanner is using for scanning wifi networks and soon I will removed this crate and I will try to implement some better or at lease my own wifi scanning that will support win & mac (mac because airport is no longer supported in macOS). So If I may ask to either wait after I finish one more feature and do a proper wifi scanning OR you may try install ubuntu or some other distro to install netscanner.

Hi, @EphemeralSapient create a PR to fix this issue. I will take a look at it ASAP and it should fix this issue for a Windows OS.
