Details

Description:
wifi-radar upgrade breaks functionality on at least two levels:
* permission error on log file in /var/log
* wpa_supplicant & dhcpcd syntax error

Additional info:
* wifi-radar 2.0.s02-1

Steps to reproduce:
* run program as user, breaks with error message (Permission error on "/var/log/wifi-radar.log") as in attached "wifi-radar.txt".
* run with sudo, (no permission error), but upon connecting to WPA network breaks with error message (wrong command line syntax for wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd) as in "wifi-radar_sudo.txt". Likely to break without WPA as well, but couldn't try.

Extra bits:
* Previously no need for setting /var/log permissions
* Disconnecting and signal-strength display works
This task depends upon

you must use sudo to run wifi-radar, I'll take a look to code to fix wpa_supplicant syntax error

then there's an additional packaging error, because previously it run from the start menu, but after the update it doesn't...
