hi,

when starting geoclue-test-gui I get this warning three times
** (geoclue-test-gui:22890): WARNING **: Error getting position: Router
mac address query failed

breaking in gdb on it is not really useful, as it is not stopping the
backend. Grep hints it comes fro plazes and/or skyhook.

$ find . -name "*.c" -exec grep -Hn "Router mac address query failed" {} \;
./providers/plazes/geoclue-plazes.c:134:                     "Router mac
address query failed");
./providers/plazes/geoclue-plazes.c:213:                     "Router mac
address query failed");
./providers/skyhook/geoclue-skyhook.c:184:                 "Router mac
address query failed");

I have built geoclue against network manager. Is this releated to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27894

or should I file a new bug?

Stefan
