It is still compiling in.

I think the correct syntax is "chrome --v=1" (google for "chromium
vlog") but VLOG() seems broken. If you replace the VLOG(1) in
wifi_data_provider_freebsd.cc by a LOG(ERROR) you will see a list of
access points on the console.

So a list is retrieved but somehow not processed correctly.
